Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Alex Bregman went 2-for-3 and scored the Astros’ lone run in Sunday night’s loss to the Yankees. Bregman reached on a one-out single off of Michael King in the first inning, then came around to score the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Kyle Tucker. Both of his hits in the ballgame were singles. On the season, the 29-year-old third baseman is now slashing .267/.365/.446 with 22 homers, 90 RBI and three stolen bases.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
After striking out in his first four at-bats, Adolis García hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth Sunday to give the Rangers a 6-5 win over the Twins. García’s blast led off the bottom of the ninth against Josh Winder. It gave him his 100th RBI, making him the third player to reach that milestone this year after Pete Alonso did it earlier this afternoon (Matt Olson leads the way at 113). He’s slumped in recent weeks, going just 11-for-71 in his last 18 games. However, he’s made those hits count: five have been homers

Astros vs. Rangers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the over. France has struggled over his last four starts, posting a 2-2 record with a 6.86 ERA and 5.50 FIP across his last 21 innings. Heaney, meanwhile, has a 3.10 ERA over his last five starts (20 1/3 innings), although his FIP is 4.24 and he’s facing a Houston offense that has posted a 134 wRC+ over its last 10 games. Runs should not be at a premium today in Arlington.
