St. Louis Cardinals Fantasy Spin
Dexter Fowler slugged a go-ahead three-run homer off Jeurys Familia in the eighth inning on Friday as part of a 9-5 victory over the Mets. Fowler went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored on the night. The 33-year-old has largely gone silent since a productive April, but his bat came alive at just the right time for St. Louis. He’s batting .243/.363/.392 with six homers through 61 games.
New York Mets Fantasy Spin
Noah Syndergaard (illness) expects to make his scheduled start Saturday versus the Cardinals. Syndergaard has been battling strep throat for the last couple of days, but he reported feeling better on Thursday and should be fully recovered by Saturday’s game versus St. Louis. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 4.45 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 88/22 K/BB ratio in 89 innings (14 starts) this season.
