Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 and collected his first triple of the year Wednesday against the Twins. He also walked. The triple should have been a double, but Nick Gordon lost sight of the ball after it bounced off the wall and then bobbled it once he finally got to it. Betts is hitting .250/.360/.506 through 42 games.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul DeJong clubbed a two-run homer in St. Louis’ 3-0 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday night. He took a Corbin Burnes cutter out to straightaway center field, collecting 2 RBI and a run in the process. DeJong is hitting .245/.333/.491 in his last 15 games, and he’s started the last seven games in a row for the Cardinals. As long as DeJong is actually connecting with pitches, he’s a viable streamer.
