Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
J.T. Realmuto is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Twins. After catching all nine innings Saturday night, the 32-year-old backstop will get a well-deserved day of rest on Sunday. Realmuto is having a down season by his standards, hitting .249/.313/.464 with 15 homers and 12 stolen bases across 404 plate appearances. Garrett Stubbs will bat eighth and catch lefty Ranger Suárez in his absence.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Daulton Varsho had a home run and five RBI in Toronto’s 11-4 win over the Cubs on Sunday. The 27-year-old took Jameson Taillon deep for a three-run shot in the second inning that left the bat at 106.7 mph. It was just his 14th home run of the season, which is a bit of a letdown after posting 27 long balls last season in Arizona. Varsho went 2-for-5 on the day with a two-run single in the fifth. He’s now hitting .216/.276/.368 with 42 RBI on the season and figures to lose a lot of fantasy value next season when he’s no longer catcher eligible.

Phillies vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Wheeler is 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA and a 3.82 FIP over his last five starts spanning 32 2/3 innings. His strikeout rate, walk rate and HR/FB rate are all superb and he’s in great form heading into tonight’s matchup with the Blue Jays. On the other side, Kikuchi is 2-1 with a 1.24 ERA and 2.41 FIP over his last five starts, covering 29 innings in the process. Given how well these two pitchers are performing, give me the under tonight at Rogers Centre.
