St. Louis Cardinals DFS Spin
Cardinals left fielder Lars Nootbaar drove in his club’s only run in their 11-1 loss to the Rangers on Friday night. In that game, the 27-year-old left-handed hitter went 1 for 4 with a double and an RBI. For the season, Nootbaar is hitting .252 with 8 homers, 28 RBIs, 4 steals, and an OPS of .770 in 218 at-bats. Lars Noobaar is batting .263 with a .751 OPS against lefties this season. That fact means you can use the Cardinals outfielder in DFS against Rangers southpaw starter Patrick Corbin on Saturday.

Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien had a monster day at the dish in his team’s 11-1 win over the Cardinals on Friday.
