Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Alec Bohm went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Thursday, but it wasn’t enough as the Phillies fell to the Rangers on Opening Day. Instead of a highly-anticipated pitcher’s duel, it was a throwback slugfest between a pair of unfamiliar foes. Bohm kicked off the scoring with a two-run homer to right-center field off Jacob deGrom in the second inning and also added an RBI single in the fifth inning.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Robbie Grossman slugged a three-run homer on Thursday, leading the Rangers to an 11-7 victory over the Phillies on Opening Day. Grossman connected for a game-tying three-run shot to right-center field off Aaron Nola as part of a nine-run offensive explosion by the Rangers in the fourth inning.

Phillies vs. Rangers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
With the way the under has been profitable in previous meetings between these two teams, I won’t bank on another high-scoring game. I also see more value in the side, where the Phillies are 1-11 in their last 12 games versus the Rangers and are winless in their last eight games in Texas. The Phils are also winless in their last four games overall, is 1-4 in their last five road games and are 17-37 in their last 54 interleague road games versus a team with a winning record.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: TEXAS RANGERS +110
