For the season, Busch is batting .258 with 7 homers, 23 RBIs, 2 steals, and an OPS of .860 across 124 at-bats.

New York Mets DFS Spin
Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had a big day at the plate in his team’s 7-2 win over the Cubs on Friday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the switch-hitter from Caguas, Puerto Rico, went 3 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, a stolen base, and 2 runs scored. Lindor is batting .297 with 8 homers, 25 RBIs, 5 steals, and an OPS of .861 this year. The 31-year-old is hitting .412 with a 1.212 OPS in home games this season. That fact makes Francisco Lindor worthy of DFS consideration for Saturday’s home date with the Cubs.
