Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
The Athletic’s David O’Brien reports the Braves haven’t decided yet whether Ozzie Albies (hamstring) will be activated this weekend. Atlanta opens a three-game series on Friday against the Giants in San Francisco and there’s a possibility Albies will return at some point during it. The 26-year-old second baseman is not expected to require a minor league rehab assignment after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a left hamstring strain. There should be some clarity on his status prior to Friday’s series opener.
San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Paul DeJong went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in his first game with the Giants as they beat the Phillies on Wednesday. Quite a way to introduce yourself to your new team. After fouling out in his first at-bat, DeJong hit a 400-foot two-run home run in the fourth and followed that with a single in the sixth and another single in the tenth. It was quite a performance; of course, we’ve seen him do this before. DeJong also hit six home runs in May this season but still wound up with a .202 average that month. Perhaps he can be the next restoration project for the Giants.

Braves vs. Giants MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me Atlanta. The Braves have won seven out of their last 10 games, whereas the Giants have dropped seven out of their last 10. Strider is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA and 2.61 FIP over his last three starts, so this struggling Giants’ offense isn’t going to touch the Atlanta ace tonight. Yes, Webb has pitched well of late too, but the Braves have the edge offensively and their pen is in better form right now as well.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: ATLANTA BRAVES -162
