Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Michael Harris II went 3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, two RBI, and two steals on Friday in a 5-1 win against the Giants. Harris II filled the stat sheet on Friday, starting with a solo homer off Logan Webb in the first inning. He knocked a base hit to lead off the fourth and stole second before scoring on a double by Matt Olson. Harris II drove in another run in the sixth with a base hit before collecting his second steal of the game. The 22-year-old outfielder is hitting .287/.333/.456 with 12 homers, 41 RBI, and 19 steals across 397 plate appearances.
San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Giants recalled OF Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento. Ramos was just optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, but he’ll return with Michael Conforto (hamstring) landing on the injured list prior to Friday’s game. The 23-year-old has struggled during his limited action in the big leagues thus far — hitting just .220/.273/.390 with one homer and two RBI in 41 at-bats with the Giants this season.

Braves vs. Giants MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. Fried struggled versus the Giants last Sunday, allowing three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings during a 4-3 loss and has surrendered 23 hits and nine runs in 15 2/3 innings after tossing six shutout innings against the Cubs in his first game back from injury. That said, Fried is also 3-0 with a 2.31 ERA lifetime against the Giants, which includes a career ERA in San Francisco of 1.38 in two outings. Given the Giants’ inability to produce much offense over the last two months, I think the safest bet today in San Francisco is the under.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BRAVES/GIANTS UNDER 8
