Tampa Bay Rays DFS Spin
Rays shortstop Jose Caballero reached base twice in his team’s 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday. In that game, the 28-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. For the season, Caballero is hitting .239 with 1 home run, 12 RBIs, 9 steals, and an OPS of .679 in 88 at-bats. The Panama native is batting .303 when occupying the #7 spot in the batting order. Caballero hit seventh on Wednesday and could be worth a look in DFS if he draws another start on Thursday.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS Spin
Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk drove in all of his team’s runs in their 3-1 win over the Rays on Wednesday. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the batting order, the Tijuana, Mexico native went 2 for 4 with a homer, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. Kirk is batting .293 with 3 homers, 16 RBIs, and an OPS of .716 in 123 at-bats this year. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .356 over his last 15 games. That fact makes Alejandro Kirk worthy of DFS consideration, provided he draws another start on Thursday.

Rays vs. Blue Jays Betting Prediction
I like the Rays in this matchup. Tampa Bay is an MLB-best 7-5 straight up as a road underdog this season. What’s more, the Rays are 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games against Toronto. Additionally, Rays starting pitcher Zack Littell has thrown 4 quality starts in his last 5 outings. I think the 29-year-old righty pitches well enough for Tampa to earn an outright road win over Toronto on Thursday. The pick is the Rays +140 on the money line over the Blue Jays at Bovada.lv.
