Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Justin Verlander allowed three runs on five hits over six innings while taking a no-decision in Wednesday’s 10-inning loss to the Rangers. A quality start for Verlander, though he was lined up for a loss when he left the mound, with a game-tying homer by Yordan Alvarez in the seventh saving his metaphorical bacon. Verlander struck out seven and walked one in the contest. This start snapped a string of seven consecutive outings with two or fewer runs allowed. The veteran ace will bring a pristine 1.85 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 134/24 K/BB ratio (21 starts; 136 innings) into a road meeting with the White Sox when next he toes the rubber.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Eloy Jiménez went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Monday in a victory over the Astros. Jiménez tied the game at 2-2 with a two-run double in the eighth inning of Rafael Montero. The 25-year-old slugger has been outstanding as of late, and has his slash up to .305/.340/.457 on the season. Expect more fireworks for Jiménez to end the 2022 campaign.
