Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Jorge Polanco went 2-for-4 and swatted his seventh home run of the season on Friday night as the Twins were clobbered by the Phillies in Philadelphia. Polanco tagged Phillies’ starter Cristopher Sanchez for a solo shot in the second inning — increasing the Twins’ early advantage to 2-0. That would be the extent of their offense in the ballgame. Polanco also singled. With his two-hit effort, the 30-year-old infielder is now hitting .238/.304/.435 with seven homers and 21 RBI.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber was diagnosed with a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off of himself during Friday’s contest against the Twins. It sounds like initial X-rays on the 30-year-old slugger came back negative for any fractures. He’s still very sore though, and the Phillies plan to re-evaluate him on Saturday to determine his outlook for the remainder of the weekend. He should be considered day-to-day.

Lopez is 7-6 with a 3.81 ERA after allowing five hits and zero runs in seven innings on Monday against the Tigers.

He’s 2-1 with a 4.34 ERA in three career starts against the Twins. Minnesota has dropped four straight games entering tonight’s matchup, whereas Philadelphia has won three in a row and seven of its last 10. I’m going to back the hotter team tonight.
