Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Michael Massey went 2-for-4 with a homer in Sunday’s loss to the Yankees. The Royals’ second baseman took Luis Severino deep for his seventh home run of the season. The two-run shot also gave Massey 29 RBI on the season, and the effort upped his season slash line to .213/.267/.343 on the season. He has some fantasy-friendly raw tools for deep leagues and an intriguing 9.8 percent barrel rate, but he just doesn’t seem to be able to string together positive results.
Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Steven Kwan had four hits, including his fourth homer of the year, in Sunday’s loss to the Phillies. Kwan has opened the season half by going 15-for-39 (.385) with two homers, four doubles and six RBI in nine games. He’s struck out just once during the span. Perhaps he won’t wind up as a fantasy disappointment this year after all.

Royals vs. Guardians MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I like the under. Logan Allen goes tonight for the Guardians and he’s 4-2 with a 3.21 ERA for Cleveland this season. Meanwhile, Ryan Yarbrough will go for the Royals and while he’s 2-5 with a 5.21 ERA on the season, he has owned the Guardians in previous outings. He’s 3-0 in his career versus Cleveland and has faced the Guardians four times in total with a trio of starts in which he’s posted a 1.78 ERA with 18 strikeouts.
