Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 3-for-4 with a double, RBI and a stolen base on Monday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Astros to victory over the Marlins. The reigning American League Player of the Week stayed hot in this one. He led off the game with a single and swiped second base, but wound up getting doubled off on a line drive. He then got the Astros on the board with an RBI double in the seventh inning, but that would be his squad’s lone tally in the ballgame. On the season, the 33-year-old second baseman is now slashing a robust .323/.419/.545 with nine homers, 28 RBI and 12 stolen bases in only 49 games on the season.
Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Jorge Soler crushed his 29th home run of the season on Monday night, helping to power the Marlins to victory over the Astros. Soler tagged Astros’ left-hander Framber Valdez for a 387-foot solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning, increasing the Marlins’ advantage to 3-1. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the 31-year-old slugger is slashing .244/.333/.500 with 29 long balls and 63 RBI.

Astros vs. Marlins MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Javier is 1-1 with a 4.44 ERA and a 5.78 FIP over his last five starts that span 26 1/3 innings. The strikeout rate is solid (9.57), but his walk rate is out of control at 5.47 over this span. As for Cueto, he’s 0-2 with a 4.70 ERA and 4.97 FIP over his last four starts, spanning just 23 innings. His strikeout, walk and HR/FB rates are all in good shape, but he’s been fortunate from a BABIP (.204) standpoint, which is why his FIP and xFIP (4.20) are so high. Ultimately, I think these two pitchers have enough blowup potential for the over to cash tonight in Miami.
