New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had half of his team’s hits in their 5-0 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday. The 2022 NL MVP went 3 for 4 with 3 singles while hitting out of the leadoff spot. Goldschmidt is batting .381 with 1 homer, 3 RBIs, and an OPS of .935 this season. The former St. Louis Cardinal has an OPS of .833 in 6 at-bats against Tigers starter Jack Flaherty. That fact makes Paul Goldschmidt relevant for DFS purposes on Wednesday.
Detroit Tigers DFS Spin
Tigers right fielder Zach McKinstry drove in 40% of his team’s runs in their 5-0 win over the Yankees on Tuesday. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the lineup, the 29-year-old lefthanded hitter went 2 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and a run scored. For the season, the Toldeo, OH native is hitting .355 with 1 homer, 4 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of .963. Zach McKinstry is hitting .571 against lefties in 7 at-bats this season. That means he could be in the lineup against New York lefty starter Max Fried on Wednesday.

Yankees vs. Tigers Betting Prediction
The Yankees have lost three games in a row. They have only scored 6 total runs in those 3 games. I think the Bronx Bombers get their offense back on track against the Tigers on Wednesday.
Current Yankee hitters who have faced Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty in their careers have an OPS of .858 against the 29-year-old right-hander. Both Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham have an OPS of .750 or better in 12+ at-bats against Flaherty. I think those two, along with some of the other left-handed bats in the Yankees lineup, will score enough to earn an outright win over the Tigers in Detroit on Wednesday. The pick is New York -149 on the money line over Detroit at Bovada.lv.
