Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Jonah Heim delivered his second career grand slam Sunday against the Twins. It’s clear Heim hasn’t been quite right since returning from his wrist injury, but he got enough of one today, hitting a ball 372 feet off of Bailey Ober. It was his only hit in six at-bats and just his third in 32 plate appearances since he came off the IL. We wouldn’t be looking at him as a starting catcher in 10- or 12-team leagues right now.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Angels on Sunday. Alonso was returned to the Mets lineup Sunday after he was removed in Saturday night’s game after being hit in the neck. The 28-year-old tied the game up in the eighth inning when he ripped a double to left field off Angels reliever Matt Moore. The 28-year-old slugger is hitting .223/.326/.523 across 522 plate appearances this season.

Rangers vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me Texas. Gray is 2-2 with a 4.24 ERA and 2.97 FIP over his last four starts, spanning 23 1/3 innings in the process. Megill, meanwhile, owns a 6.86 ERA and a 6.02 FIP to go along with a 1-3 record over his last four starts, which span 19 2/3 innings. The Rangers offense had been struggling but came alive on Sunday in their series finale against the Twins. Their bullpen has also had issues over the past two weeks as well, but Gray should be able to pitch deep tonight.
