Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Elvis Andrus went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a steal as the White Sox topped the Cubs 5-3 on Tuesday. Andrus is hitting .375 with a homer, five doubles and three steals in his last 10 games. Those looking for steals in deeper mixed leagues might want to give him a try while he’s hot.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Seiya Suzuki, making his fifth straight start, hit his 11th homer Tuesday in the loss to the White Sox. Suzuki’s brief stint as a platoon player has ended for now, as he’s opened August by going 9-for-28 with three homers. He’s again an option in mixed leagues, though not necessarily a great one while batting at the bottom of the Cubs order.

White Sox vs. Cubs MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Clevinger is 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA over his last three starts, spanning 16 innings of work. His strikeout rate is something to be desired at 6.19 and his walk rate is a little high at 2.25, but he’s keeping the ball in the yard and on the ground and while that 2.25 ERA isn’t sustainable, his 3.46 FIP is still strong. The Cubs, meanwhile, will start Javier Assad, who has two starts over the last 30 days, posting a 1-0 record with a 2.53 ERA across 10 2/3 innings. His 4.39 FIP suggests there’s trouble ahead, however, so with the way Clevinger is pitching, I’m going to roll the dice on the White Sox tonight.
