Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 and hit his 25th homer against the Rays on Monday. Altuve now amassed the third highest homer total of his career. He previously had 31 twice (in 2019 and 2021) and 24 twice (in 2016 and 2017). He’s batting .292, too, which would be his highest average since 2019.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Randy Arozarena went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Monday in his return to the Rays’ lineup. Tampa Bay’s lineup managed just five hits in a shutout loss to the Astros as Luis Garcia, Hunter Brown and Héctor Neris combined on a shutout. Arozarena was back in the Rays’ lineup after sitting out Sunday’s series-ending victory over the Rangers due to a non-COVID illness.
