St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul DeJong went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Thursday against the Giants. DeJong was one of the game’s worst hitters the past couple of years, but he’s 8-for-17 with two homers, two doubles and just one strikeout in five games since coming off the disabled list this season. Even if there’s little reason to expect it to last, the Cardinals have to keep playing him while he’s hitting. Brendan Donovan could lose out for the short term.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Will Smith (concussion) could potentially be activated on Friday. It all depends on how Smith feels after taking some simulated game at-bats on Friday. The 28-year-old said on Wednesday that he’s been symptom-free for nearly a week, so things are trending in a positive direction here.
