Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz got the biggest hit of the game on Saturday evening. Hitting out of the 8-spot in the lineup, Ortiz laced a two-out, two-run double to left center field that officially blew the game open for his team. The hit put Milwaukee up 5-0, and they would go on to cruise to a 6-3 victory. Ortiz has secured an everyday role at third base, and he’s doing a lot with that opportunity. The Garden Grove, CA native is hitting .285 with an OPS of .883 this year. He’s hit 5 homers, driven in 18 runs, scored 16 runs, and stolen a base this season. Ortiz might be a nice value play in DFS on Sunday.
Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Red Sox shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela went 2 for 4 with a pair of RBI singles in his club’s 6-3 home loss to the Brewers on Saturday afternoon. Rafaela was one of two players on his team to record multiple hits and was the only player on his squad to knock in multiple runs on Saturday.
Rafaela has 2 homers, 6 RBIs, 6 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases over the past 15 days. He could be a nice cost-effective option at shortstop if you’d like to spend your salary cap elsewhere when it comes to filling out your DFS lineup on Sunday.

Brewers vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
The Brewers have won the first two games of this series against the Red Sox in Boston by a combined score of 13-5. Milwaukee used an opener and piggyback starter in both games to great effect. It’s not quite clear if they plan to do the same again on Sunday. The only certainty is that Milwaukee lefty Jared Koenig will not be the opener if the Brewers do elect to use one for a third straight contest.
I like the Brewers as run-line underdogs in this game. Milwaukee is 20-9 ATS as an underdog and 23-20 ATS when playing on no rest this season. What’s more, the Brewers are 12-10 ATS in non-league games and 25-22 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest this season. The Brewers money line of +120 does look appealing, but I’ll take Milwaukee +1.5 runs at -170 odds on Sunday.
