Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story drove in 25% of his team’s runs in their 12-1 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon.

For the season, Story is hitting .261 with 20 homers, 82 RBIs, 22 steals, and an OPS of .735 in 487 at-bats.

New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees right fielder Giancarlo Stanton drove in his club’s only run in their 12-1 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday. Hitting out of the #4 spot in the lineup, the 2017 NL MVP went 1 for 4 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. Stanton is hitting .299 with 16 homers, 41 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.010 in 157 at-bats this season. The 5-time All-Star is batting .395 with an OPS of 1.474 over his last 15 games. That fact makes Giancarlo Stanton worth a look in DFS, provided he draws another start on Sunday.
