Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Riley Adams drove in three runs in the Nationals’ win over the Mets on Saturday. The back-up catcher started in place of Keibert Ruiz and delivered again, going 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI. Adams is now hitting .304/.354/.565 this season and, at 27-years-old, still has a little upside if he were to ever get the chance to be a full-time player. It likely just won’t happen this season.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Francisco Lindor had two hits, including a home run, in Saturday’s loss to the Nationals. The home run was Lindor’s 20th of the season, and the shortstop has been one of the lone bright spots for New York this season. After going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored tonight, he’s now hitting .231/.318/.452 with a 3.3 WAR that puts him third-best amongst all shortstops in the big leagues. While the Mets will likely trade away a few hitters around him in the coming days, Lindor should remain a solid fantasy contributor the rest of the way.
