Arizona Diamondbacks Fantasy Spin
Eduardo Escobar hit a solo homer in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. Escobar launched his 19th homer of the season with a solo shot off of Dakota Hudson in the fifth inning. It’s his 68th RBI of the season, and he’s slashing .295/.351/.545 on the 2019 campaign. After his 2-for-15 start in March, there haven’t been very many infielders better than Escobar this summer.
St. Louis Cardinals Fantasy Spin
Tyler O’Neill doubled, homered and drove in four runs in the Cardinals’ 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. O’Neill drove in a pair of runs with a two-run shot off of Merrill Kelly, and he doubled in two more with a double off of Kelly a couple of innings later. The homer was O’Neill’s second in 70 at-bats with the Cardinals, and he’s now driven in eight runs with a .725 OPS over 30 games. O’Neill is certainly not bereft of talent, but he’s more of a long-term option than one you should trust in 2019.
