St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 and hit three homers to propel the Cardinals past the Tigers 12-6 on Sunday. It’s the third three-homer game of his career and second with the Cardinals. He’s the 41st player in major league history with three three-homer games, joining Mookie Betts, Joey Votto, Andrew McCutchen and J.D. Martinez on the active list. Betts actually has six, while the remaining active players have exactly three. Goldschmidt is hitting .321/.409/.582 with seven homers this season. It’s pretty much the same line he had in his MVP season a year ago (.317/.404/.578).
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a walk and two steals against the Marlins on Sunday. Bellinger has gone a week without a homer, but what he does have is five steals in seven games this month. He’s 9-for-10 for the season. If he keeps running, he could be a top-30 outfielder even if he cools down at the plate.
