Cincinnati Reds DFS Spin
Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson drove in 20% of his team’s runs in their 5-2 win over the Mets on Saturday afternoon. In that game, the 28-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 4 with a single, an RBI, and a run scored. For the season, Stephenson is hitting .237 with 7 homers, 30 RBIs, and an OPS of .723 across 198 at-bats. Tyler Stephenson is batting .273 with an OPS of .820 over his last 7 games, making him an interesting DFS option if he draws another start on Sunday.
New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets designated hitter Mark Vientos knocked in half of his club’s runs in their 5-2 loss to the Reds on Saturday. Hitting out of the #5 spot in the lineup, the Norwalk, CT, native went 1 for 4 with a single and an RBI. Vientos is hitting .220 with 6 homers, 25 RBIs, and an OPS of .628 in 241 at-bats this year. The 25-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .296 with an OPS of .740 over his last 7 games. That fact means Mark Vientos is worthy of DFS consideration on Sunday.

Reds vs. Mets Betting Prediction
I like the Reds in this matchup, largely due to their starting pitcher, Andrew Abbott. In 16 starts this season, Abbott is 8-1 with a 2.01 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, a 3.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio, an 8.2 K/9, and a .219 opponent batting average. The 26-year-old lefty has thrown 6 quality starts in 2025, and the Reds are 12-4 straight up in games that Abbott has started this season. Facing a high-powered offense like the Mets on the road is a big ask, to be sure. But I think Andrew Abbott pitches well enough for Cincinnati to earn an outright win and secure a three-game sweep over New York. The pick is the Reds +132 on the money line over the Mets at Bovada.lv.
