San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Patrick Bailey was removed from Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs due to a possible concussion. The 24-year-old backstop felt a bit lightheaded after Jeimer Candelario slid into him at home plate during the seventh inning on Tuesday. He remained in the game for another couple of innings, but was ultimately lifted in the ninth for a pinch hitter. He’ll go through the concussion protocol just to be on the safe side.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Jordan Wicks pitched five innings of one-run ball against the Reds to pick up a win in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader. Wicks wasn’t as exceptional as in his first start, when he struck out nine, but he still got the job done while finishing with a 3/3 K/BB ratio today. He should be worth playing in mixed leagues in a home start against the Giants next week.

Giants vs. Cubs MLB BETTING PREDICTION
We don’t have a lot to go on when it comes to this pitching matchup. Wood’s last nine appearances have come in relief and has started just 11 of his 24 games this season. As for Wicks, he’s 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA after allowing just one run in five innings in each of his first two outings, but there’s not much of a book on him, either. What we do know, however, is that the Giants have struggled of late and the Cubs are surging. Give me Chicago to complete the sweep of San Francisco today in Chicago.
