Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Monday in the Astros’ loss to the Rays. Bregman went deep off rookie right-hander Taj Bradley in the opening frame for his third round-tripper of the season. He also doubled against reliever Kevin Kelly later on in the contest. The 29-year-old four-category fantasy contributor is slashing .247/.374/.393 with 15 runs scored, three homers and 11 RBI across 107 plate appearances.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Wander Franco went 4-for-5 with an RBI and also stole a base on Monday, leading the Rays to an 8-3 victory over the Astros. Franco did a little bit of everything in this one, including making a surreal barehanded over-the-shoulder catch in foul territory. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone matched a career-high with four hits, which included a seventh-inning RBI single. He’s up to five stolen bases already, which is an unexpected bonus for fantasy managers who probably weren’t forecasting anything beyond a handful of thefts over a full season. He’s gotten off to a sublime start at the dish this season, batting .318/.388/.580 with 13 runs scored, four home runs, 14 RBI and five steals across 98 plate appearances.
