Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Joey Gallo went 4-for-4 with two homers, four RBI and a walk Saturday as the Twins crushed the Phillies 8-1. Yeah, that Joey Gallo. He had as many hits tonight as in his previous 19 games (14 starts) combined. He did have three hits and two homers on April 2, but he had gone the last four months without ever matching those totals again. It’s just his second career four-hit game; the last came in 2019 against the Royals. He raised his average from .172 all of the way to .185.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber (foot) was in the Phillies’ lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Twins. It’s an extremely encouraging sign to see Schwarber ready to roll atop Philadelphia’s lineup on Saturday evening following an early exit from Friday’s game with a left foot contusion. The 30-year-old slugger has posted a solid .762 OPS with 30 homers in 116 games this season.

Twins vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Gray enters play with a 5-5 record and a 3.18 ERA on the season and is 0-1 with a 4.29 ERA in four career starts against the Phillies. Over his last five starts, Gray is 1-2 with a 4.11 ERA but 2.61 FIP, which is an indication that he has deserved a better fate. As for Suarez, he’s posted an 0-1 record over his last five outings (29 innings) and owns a 4.34 ERA with a 4.13 FIP. While Suarez hasn’t been fade material, I like Gray and I’m willing to roll the dice that his offense, bullpen and defense will support him today in Philly.
