Oakland Athletics DFS Spin

Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof recorded multiple hits in his team’s 5-4 road loss to the Padres on Wednesday afternoon. Hitting out of the #8 spot in the lineup, Gelof went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. On the season, Gelof is hitting .194 with 5 homers, 14 RBIs, and an OPS of .571. His June numbers show a slight improvement (.226 batting average, .734 OPS, 2 homers, 2 RBIs), and his low price could make him an appealing option against Minnesota in DFS on Thursday.

Minnesota Twins DFS Spin

Twins first baseman Carlos Santana had a monster game in his team’s 17-9 home win over the Rockies on Wednesday. The veteran out of the Dominican Republic went 3 for 5 with a double, 2 runs scored, and a game-high 4 RBIs. Santana has been scorching hot over the past two weeks. In the last 15 days, Carlos Santana is slashing .308/.386/.590 with 2 doubles, 3 homers, 7 RBIs, 5 walks, and a stolen base. He could be a nice cost-effective option at first base in DFS this weekend. 

Oakland is 17-26 straight up after a loss this season.

Oakland is 11-24 straight up as the road team this season.

Minnesota is 18-14 straight up as the home team this season.

Minnesota is 21-14 straight up after a win this season.

Athletics vs. Twins Betting Prediction

The Athletics have lost 5 straight games. They also may be jet-lagged for this game on Thursday night. Oakland played at San Diego on Wednesday afternoon, and they’re going to have to play in Minnesota a little more than 24 hours later after flying halfway across the country. It also doesn’t help that the A’s have the second-worst run differential in the American League at -82 this season. Nor does it help that Oakland is 22-38 straight up when playing on no rest in 2024. 

Minnesota has been home since Monday. The Twins took 2 out of 3 from the Rockies at home earlier this week, punctuated by a 17-9 drubbing of Colorado at home on Wednesday afternoon. Minnesota is 5th in the AL in runs scored this season, and they should feast against an Oakland team that ranks third-to-last in the American League in runs allowed this year. I’m taking the Twins on the money line at home in this one.
