Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves catcher Drake Baldwin had a big day at the plate in his team’s 7-6 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday night. In that game, the 24-year-old rookie went 1 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and a run scored. For the season, Baldwin is hitting .354 with 5 homers, 14 RBIs, and an OPS of .995 across 79 at-bats. The left-handed hitter from Madison, WI, is batting .500 over his last 15 games. That fact makes Drake Baldwin worth a look in most DFS formats on Sunday.

Braves vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
I like the Braves in this matchup. Their starting pitcher, Spencer Schwellenbach, is a big reason why. The 24-year-old right-handed starter is 2-3 this season with a 3.31 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, a 4.2 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 7.6 K/9, and a .228 opponent batting average. Schwellenbach has tossed 7 quality starts in 9 trips to the mound this season, and I think he’s a good bet to throw another one on Sunday. For that reason, among others, I’m taking the Braves at Fenway Park. The pick is Atlanta -130 on the money line over Boston at Bovada.lv.
