Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Matt McLain went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and a steal on Wednesday in a 7-3 win over the Angels. McLain drove in a run with a base hit in the fourth inning before stealing second. His next hit came in the eighth, a two-run blast off Matt Moore. The 24-year-old infielder is hitting an outstanding .297/.366/.516 with 15 homers, 63 runs scored, 48 RBI, and 13 steals across 385 plate appearances.
Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Corbin Carroll went 2-for-3 with a run scored, RBI and a stolen base on Tuesday, leading the Diamondbacks to a 6-3 victory over the visiting Rangers. The dynamic 23-year-old outfielder drove in a run with an infield single in the second inning, increasing the D’Backs’ early lead to 3-0. He then swiped second base, but was left stranded there. He’s having an unbelievable rookie campaign — slashing .275/.354/.502 with 21 homers, 61 RBI and 38 stolen bases.

Reds vs. Diamondbacks MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m going to roll the dice tonight on Cincinnati despite Arizona’s success over its last 10 games. Kelly has a 2.70 ERA over his last four starts (23 1/3 innings), but with a 5.63 FIP, he hasn’t pitched as well as his ERA would indicate. The Diamondbacks’ bullpen also owns a 4.91 FIP over the past seven days, whereas the Reds own a 0.62 ERA and 2.61 FIP over the same span. Williamson, meanwhile, is 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA and 3.76 FIP across his last four starts, which span 22 1/3 innings.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: CINCINNATI REDS +145
