Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve turned in his fourth straight multihit game Friday, going 3-for-5 with a double against the Guardians. Altuve is 11-for-18 with four doubles in the four games, raising his average from .270 to .287. Altuve once had a streak of nine straight games with multiple hits, so he’s still a ways away from that. The longest such streak by a player this year is held by AJ Pollock, who got to seven games in June.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Steven Kwan was removed from Friday’s game against the Astros with a left foot contusion. Kwan left as a precautionary measure after fouling a pitch off of his foot. There’s a chance that he could head for X-rays just to make sure there aren’t any fractures, but it doesn’t appear as though he sustained a serious injury. He should be considered day-to-day.
