Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Nick Lodolo surrendered three runs on three hits in a minor league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Louisville. The 25-year-old struck out three but also coughed up three walks across 2 1/3 innings of work. However, he allowed only one hard-hit ball, and his velocity was right in line with where it was before his injury earlier this season. He generated six swinging strikes on 61 pitches thrown and will likely need another start or two before he is ready to join the Reds rotation.
Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Brandon Drury slugged his 17th home run of the season as the Angels fell to the Rays on Saturday night. The 30-year-old slugger blasted a three-run shot off of Cooper Criswell in the eighth inning, pulling the Angels to within 13 runs at 17-4. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. Drury has been on a heater at the dish as of late, and is now slashing .269/.308/.488 with 17 long balls and 54 RBI on the season.

Reds vs. Angels MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the Reds. Ashcraft hasn’t pitched as well as his 2.86 ERA would indicate over his last three starts (22 innings), but Giolito has been dreadful. He’s 1-2 with a 9.19 ERA and a 6.71 FIP over his last three starts (15 2/3 innings), while the Angels’ bullpen has a collective ERA of 7.17 since August 1. The Angels also own the lowest wRC+ since the start of the month at 61.
