Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Spencer Strider cruised to his fifth victory of the season on Sunday night, allowing two runs on just two hits over six strong innings of work. The right-hander racked up nine strikeouts on the night while allowing only one base on balls. The only damage done against him came on a two-run blast by Brandon Marsh in the second inning, otherwise he was untouchable. Strider generated a whopping 23 swings and misses on 102 pitches in the ballgame — 13 on his fastball and nine on his slider — while posting a stellar CSW of 36 percent. He now sits at 5-2 on the season with a 2.97 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 106/22 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings. He became the fastest starting pitcher in MLB history to reach 100 strikeouts in a season — accomplishing the feat in only 61 innings. He’ll look to continue his domination of opposing hitters when he takes on the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Saturday.
Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Ryne Nelson yielded five runs in five innings Monday in a win over the Rockies. Nelson got the victory, but he certainly should have been better than this against the Rockies in their first game after a week-long homestand. This is when the Rockies lineup should have been at its absolute worst. Instead, Nelson made it look pretty good while getting just three missed swings and one strikeout. He’s 2-2 with a 5.37 ERA in 11 starts.
