Cleveland Indians DFS Spin
Harold Ramirez blasted a solo homer on Sunday to help the Indians top the Pirates. Ramirez homer gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. It’s the sixth on the year for the former Pittsburgh prospect, and the third in his last six appearances. Ramirez has shown flashes of brilliance in his short MLB career. It’s just hard to predict any sustainability as it hasn’t happened as of yet.
Chicago Cubs DFS Spin
Craig Kimbrel struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save against the Marlins on Sunday. Kimbrel entered the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead for the Cubs.

Kimbrel has been one of the best closers in the game this season. The 33-year-old right-hander carries an excellent 0.61 ERA, 0.65 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts over 29 1/3 innings with 20 saves.
