Detroit Tigers DFS Spin
Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres logged multiple hits in his team’s 7-5 win over the Phillies on Saturday afternoon. In that game, the former New York Yankee went 2 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. For the season, Torres is hitting .277 with 13 homers, 54 RBIs, 4 steals, and an OPS of .807 across 358 at-bats. Gleyber Torres is batting .278 with an OPS of .924 against left-handed pitching this season. That stat makes him an intriguing DFS option against Phillies lefty starter Cristopher Sanchez on Sunday.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper drove in 40% of his team’s runs in their 7-5 loss to the Tigers on Saturday. Hitting out of the #3 spot in the lineup, the 2-time NL MVP went 3 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Harper is hitting .269 with 16 homers, 47 RBIs, 10 stolen bases, and an OPS of .878 in 308 at-bats this year. The 8-time All-Star is batting .309 with an OPS of 1.001 in home games this season. That fact makes Bryce Harper worth a look in DFS for Sunday’s game at Citizens Bank Park.
