Minnesota Twins DFS SPIN
Royce Lewis went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Minnesota’s loss to the Rays Wednesday. Already establishing himself as someone with a flair for the dramatic, Lewis singled down the right-field line to tie the game in the top of the ninth. He’s struggled a bit of late but it’s still quite a small sample size, as he’s hitting .207/.207/.448 in 29 at-bats. Lewis will have to earn his way up the order, but he’s shown pop so far.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Randy Arozarena hit a walk-off homer in the ninth inning on Wednesday, propelling the Rays to a 2-1 win over the Twins. On the second pitch from Jhoan Duran, Arozarena went opposite field to right-center on a 98.3 mph splitter. He was 2-for-4 in the contest and it was nice to see some power after a .250/.397/.390 stretch over his last 30 games — with just four homers. On the season, Arozarena has hit .290/.394/.498 with 12 homers and seven stolen bases in the heart of a good lineup — he’s been good as gold in fantasy baseball.
