Los Angeles Angels Fantasy Spin
David Fletcher swatted a two-run homer and went 2-for-4 against the Rays in a 5-3 triumph on Saturday. He took Charlie Morton deep with Brian Goodwin along for the ride in the second inning. The 25-year-old third baseman is quickly establishing himself as a legitimate fantasy option in his second major league season. He has a .307 batting average with five home runs, 25 RBI and 33 runs scored in 66 games. He’s chipped in five stolen bases as well.
Tampa Bay Rays Fantasy Spin
Tommy Pham went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a loss to the Angels on Saturday. He singled in the sixth inning and came around to score on a Yandy Diaz three-run homer later in the frame. Pham has a nice .299 batting average with nine home runs and 30 RBI through 63 games. He also has six stolen bases.
