Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Philadelphia shortstop Trea Turner went 2 for 5 in the Phillies’ 2-1 win over the Braves on Saturday evening. He drove in a run with a fifth-inning double off of Atlanta starter Charlie Morton, and it proved to be the difference in the game. Trea Turner is struggling a bit this season as he’s only slashing .248/.293/.390 with 5 home runs and 15 RBIs. Turner does have 12 doubles, 2 triples, and 7 steals this season, and he’s too skilled of a player to stay down for this long. He might be starting to turn his season around and could be worth consideration in most DFS formats.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Atlanta catcher Sean Murphy hit cleanup for the Braves on Saturday and delivered multiple extra-base hits. Murphy went 2 for 4 with a double and a ninth-inning solo home run to make things interesting for Philadelphia closer Craig Kimbrel. For the season, Murphy is hitting tremendously. He’s slashing .280/.397/.567 with 10 doubles, 11 homers, and 37 RBIs. He would be an excellent DFS option at catcher on Sunday.

Phillies vs. Braves Betting Prediction
The reason Atlanta is such a heavy favorite in this game is that they’re trotting out starting pitcher Spencer Strider. Strider is in the midst of a breakout campaign as he sports an ERA of 2.97, a WHIP of 1.04, and an MLB-best strikeout-per-9 of 15.1. Philadelphia ranks in the top 10 in batter strikeouts this season, and Spencer Strider should ring up several batters on Sunday even if he doesn’t pitch into the 7th inning. The Braves need to win this game to secure a series split, and I think they do just that on Sunday night.
