Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna reached base 3 times in his team’s 10-6 win over the Twins on Monday night. In that game, the 33-year-old right-handed hitter went 2 for 4 with a double, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a walk. For the season. Ozuna is hitting .307 with 37 homers, 96 RBIs, and an OPS of .963 across 556 plate appearances. Marcell Ozuna is batting .352 over the past 15 days, which makes him an appealing DFS option on Tuesday.
Minnesota Twins DFS Spin
Twins left fielder Manuel Margot had a team-high 3 hits in his club’s 10-6 loss to the Braves on Monday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the former Ray went 3 for 5 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base. Across 299 plate appearances this season, Margot is batting .248 with 4 homers, 30 RBIs, and a .645 OPS. Manuel Margot is hitting .300 over the past 7 days.

Braves vs. Twins Betting Prediction
Atlanta will send out right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach to start this game. He’s been solid since the start of last month. In 8 starts since July 6th, Schwellenbach is 4-2 with a 2.84 ERA, a 0.87 WHIP, K/9 of 11.0, and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10.3. Of those 8 outings, 6 of them have been quality starts, and the Braves are 5-3 as a team in that same stretch.
With Spencer Schwellenbach striking out over a batter per inning this season and the Braves offense doing serious damage, the case for them to win this game is quite strong. Atlanta is 7-2 straight up in their last 9 games overall, and I like their chances to stay hot here. I’m taking the Braves on the money line on the road in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.
