Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Trevor Story went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in a 6-3 win over the Tigers on Sunday. Story almost got the party started in the first inning against Eduardo Rodriguez but settled for a ground rule double. In the third inning, Stroy reached on an infield single and promptly stole two bases before coming around to score on a single from Adam Duvall. Before the game was through, Story would double twice and score another run as the Red Sox took the series against the Tigers.
Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
CJ Abrams was pulled from Sunday’s game against the Athletics due to back spasms. It was a 7-2 ballgame at the time that Abrams was removed, so it may have been purely precautionary. The dynamic 22-year-old shortstop is considered day-to-day.

Red Sox vs. Nationals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Pivetta has only made two starts over the last month, but he’s 1-1 with a 3.65 ERA over those 12 1/3 innings. Gray, meanwhile, is 1-2 with a 4.78 ERA and a 4.60 FIP over his last five games, spanning 26 1/3 innings. Gray’s strikeout rate is low and his walk rate is high, which is a bad combination. He’s also not keeping the ball in the yard and while the Red Sox are expensive tonight in D.C., I’m taking Boston on the moneyline.
