Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Craig Kimbrel struck out two in a flawless ninth inning for his 13th save Tuesday against the Rays. Kimbrel will probably falter for a time at some point after the break, but he’s been one of the league’s best relievers these last two months. In his last 23 innings, he’s allowed just three runs and posted a 39/5 K/BB ratio while going 9-for-9 in saves and picking up four wins.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Wander Franco went 2-for-4 and homered for the Rays’ lone run Tuesday in a loss to the Phillies. Franco also picked up his 27th steal to go along with this 10th homer. He’s been pretty average offensively since his fantastic first two weeks, but he’s remained awfully valuable for fantasy purposes.
