Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN

Manuel Margot homered in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday. Margot has his ninth homer of the season with a solo shot off Ross Tripling. The outfielder has shown decent power, but he's hitting just .245 and isn't get on base very well as seen in his .293 OBP. Fantasy managers should be able to find better options in redraft leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays DFS Spin

George Springer homered and scored two runs to help the Blue Jays to a 6-3 win on Saturday over the Rays. Springer also drew a walk, and came around to score on a Cavan Biggio single. The 31-year-old blasted a homer in the second off Shane McClanahan, and that's the fifth homer for Springer in his first season with the Blue Jays. Springer is slashing .245/.383/.571 in 14 games, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he finished 2021 with a similar line.
