Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Mike Mayers is once again expected to function in a bulk inning role behind opener Carlos Hernandez on Monday against the Marlins in Miami. The 31-year-old hurler has done as nice job so far for the Royals this season — registering a 1.35 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 14/5 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings of work. In the deepest of mixed leagues, he’s probably worth a look as a streaming option — though his chances of recording a win are certainly hurt by pitching for a Royals’ team that will enter play on Monday at 18-41.
Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Garrett Cooper hit a three-run homer and doubled to help the Marlins best the A’s 7-5 on Sunday. Cooper’s homer tied the game in the fifth inning. It was his sixth in 40 games this season. He’s batting a mediocre .242/.278/.412 with an ugly 49/7 K/BB ratio, but the Marlins are prepared to stick with him. He’d been an above-average bat, if one too prone to injury, four years running.
