Colorado Rockies DFS SPIN
Ryan McMahon clubbed a solo home run as the Rockies fell to the Cardinals on Saturday evening in St. Louis. The 28-year-old slugger did his damage off of Andre Pallante in the eighth inning, clobbering a majestic 424-foot solo shot that pulled the Rockies to within four runs at 6-2. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. On the season, he’s slashing a healthy .263/.343/.485 to go with 19 long balls and 58 RBI
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Willson Contreras went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Saturday as the Cardinals triumphed over the Rockies. The hard-hitting backstop came through with a two-run double in the fifth inning that transformed a 2-1 lead into a 4-1 advantage for the Cardinals. It proved to be the difference in the ballgame. He also led off the fourth inning with a single and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Dylan Carlson. With his two-hit attack, he’s now hitting .250/.345/.423 with 11 homers, 42 RBI and six stolen bases on the season.

Rockies vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Gomber is 8-8 with a 5.68 ERA and was part of the trade that sent third baseman Nolan Arenado to St. Louis before the 2021 season. Gomber is 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA in three career appearances against the Cardinals, including one start. Thompson, meanwhile, will be the opener and has two career appearances against the Rockies spanning one inning. If this is a bullpen game for the Cards, then I love the over. Their pen has struggled and so has Gomber, so runs should not be at a premium today at Busch Stadium.
