New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Aaron Judge went 0-for-2 with a walk on Friday in the Yankees’ shutout loss to the Rays. New York’s lineup managed just five hits combined and went a stunning 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. We’re confident that the Yankees are going to be just fine, but their offense has stalled out completely at times since the All-Star break, which has to be a concern looking ahead to the postseason.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Manuel Margot went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI on Friday, leading the Rays to a 9-0 blowout victory over the Yankees. Margot spearheaded the Rays’ relentless offensive onslaught with a three-hit performance as Tampa Bay turned a one-run lead into a nine-run advantage by plating eight runs combined between the seventh and eighth innings, respectively, of this one. The 27-year-old outfielder smacked a two-run single off Yankees lefty reliever Anthony Banda in the eighth inning to close out the scoring. He’s hitting a robust .305/.363/.420 with 29 runs scored, three home runs, 36 RBI and eight steals in 248 plate appearances.
