San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Giants released OF AJ Pollock. Pollock wound up playing just five games for the Giants after being traded from the Mariners before landing on the injured list with a left oblique strain. The club opted to release him rather than open up a spot on their active roster after the 35-year-old veteran wrapped up a minor league rehab stint with Triple-A Sacramento over the weekend.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Seiya Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three RBI on Monday, leading the Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the Giants. Suzuki went deep off Giants starter Logan Webb in the second inning for his 15th round-tripper of the season and also added a seventh-inning RBI double as well, just for good measure. He was also credited with an additional RBI on an eighth-inning fielder’s choice.

Giants vs. Cubs MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the Cubs. Walker has been excellent for the Giants while posting a 1.59 ERA and 1.67 FIP over his last four starts, but he’s just the opener. Over that span, he pitched only 5 2/3 innings and the problem is that the Giants’ bullpen has struggled over the past two weeks. The real problem for San Francisco, however, is its offense. Over their last 11 games, the Giants have posted a wRC+ of just 62, which is the lowest in baseball over that span. They’re almost certain to struggle against Hendricks, who has posted a 2.48 ERA and 3.05 FIP over his last five starts (29 innings).
