Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Chas McCormick went 2-for-3 with a pair of homers and three RBI on Wednesday, powering the Astros to a 3-2 victory over the Guardians. McCormick supplied all of the offense in this one for Houston, taking Guardians rookie Tanner Bibee deep for a two-run shot in the second inning before adding a solo blast off reliever Nick Sandlin in the sixth inning. It was third career multi-homer performance and the second time this season he’s accomplished the feat. The 28-year-old outfielder is up to a career-high 15 round-trippers in just 68 games.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Giancarlo Stanton went deep in the Yankees’ win over the Rays on Wednesday. The New York slugger took Shane McClanahan deep for a three-run shot in the third inning on a 408-foot blast that came off the bat at 110.5 mph. He was 2-for-4 on the evening with four RBI and one run scored before being lifted for a pinch runner. The effort lifted his slash line to .203/.277/.448 with 15 home runs. The Yankees desperately need him to get going if they have any chance at the playoffs.

Astros vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Javier is 7-2 with a 4.33 ERS and combined with Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly for a no-hitter on June 25, 2022 in New York. He struck out 13 and walked one in seven innings during said no-hitter, plus is 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in three career regular-season appearances (two starts) against the Yankees. That said, he’s 0-1 with a 7.04 ERA in his past eight starts, so he enters tonight’s game struggling. As for Schmidt, he’s 7-6 with a 4.39 ERA and has allowed three or fewer runs in 17 of his 21 starts. I like the Yankees tonight.
