Texas Rangers DFS Spin
Rangers third baseman Josh Jung stuffed the stat sheet in his team’s 4-3 loss to the Astros on Sunday afternoon. In that game, the 27-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 4 with a single, an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored. For the season, Jung is hitting .282 with 7 homers, 19 RBIs, 3 steals, and an OPS of .801 across 142 at-bats. Josh Jung is batting .360 over his last 7 games, making him an interesting DFS option on Tuesday night.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees left fielder Cody Bellinger drove in 75% of his team’s runs in their 8-2 win over the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball. Hitting out of the #4 spot in the batting order, the 2019 NL MVP went 3 for 3 with a double, a homer, 6 RBIs, 2 walks, and a run scored. Bellinger is hitting .258 with 7 homers, 28 RBIs, 4 steals, and an OPS of .789 in 155 at-bats this year. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter is batting .387 against left-handed pitching this season. That means you can safely deploy Cody Bellinger in DFS against Rangers lefty starter Patrick Corbin on Tuesday night.

Rangers vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
I like the Rangers in this contest. Texas is coming into the Bronx on a hot streak. The Rangers are 7-2 straight up in their last 9 games, with multiple wins over the Tigers and Astros over that stretch. What’s more, Texas is 4-1 straight up when playing on 1 day of rest and 25-21 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest this year.
The Rangers will send 35-year-old lefty Patrick Corbin to the hill for this contest. After floundering in Washington with an ERA over 5.00 for the past four years, Corbin appears to have gotten his career back on track. In 7 starts this year, the two-time All-Star from Clay, NY, is 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, and a .255 opponent batting average. New York’s lineup has a lot of lefties, so I like Patrick Corbin’s chances to pitch well, due to the platoon advantage he’ll have on Tuesday. The pick is Texas +154 on the money line over New York at Bovada.lv.
