Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Ian Happ went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI on Wednesday in a 10-7 win against the White Sox. Happ drew a walk in the first inning, then drove in a run with a single in the fifth. He later extended the Cubs’ lead with a solo homer off Keenan Middleton to start the eighth inning. It was only Happ’s second home run this month. The 28-year-old outfielder is batting .249/.373/.393 with nine homers, 44 RBI, and nine steals across 429 plate appearances.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Nolan Gorman went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI on Wednesday, leading the Cardinals to an 11-7 victory over the Diamondbacks. Gorman kicked off the scoring with a gargantuan 437-foot blast off Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen in the second inning. He capped off the two-homer explosion with a two-run moonshot off reliever Scott McGough in the eighth inning. It was his 22nd round-tripper of the season and fourth multi-homer performance of his career. The 23-year-old second baseman has had issues against left-handed pitching, but should be playing pretty much everyday for St. Louis at this point.

Cubs vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Justin Steele is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three starts against the Cardinals this season. In his latest start, the left-hander worked 6 1/3 innings against St. Louis, allowing just two runs on six hits in a 4-3 Chicago victory on Friday. Overall, Steele is 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA in five career starts against the Cards. On the other side, Miles Mikolas will start for the Redbirds and he’ll look to rebound from one of the worst starts of the season. He allowed five runs on 11 hits with a walk across five innings during a no-decision last Saturday at Wrigley Field. He’s 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA in two starts against the Cubs this season. Give me the road “dog” tonight.
