Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers third baseman Vinny Capra drove in half of his team’s runs in their 4-2 loss to the Yankees on Thursday. The 28-year-old went 1 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. Capra is hitting .333 with a homer, an RBI, and an OPS of 1.667 this season. Vinny Capra will have the platoon edge over Yankees lefty starter Max Fried on Saturday. That makes the Brewers third baseman worth a look in most DFS formats.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe provided some offense from the bottom of the order in his team’s 4-2 Opening Day win over Milwaukee on Thursday. Hitting out of the #7 spot in the lineup, the New York native went 1 for 4 with a homer, a run scored, and an RBI. Volpe is batting .250 with 1 home run, 1 RBI, and an OPS of 1.250 this season. Anthony Volpe hit .400 in March last season, making him an interesting DFS option as March of 2025 draws to a close.

Brewers vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
Milwaukee’s starting pitcher for this game will be left-hander Nestor Cortes. Cortes played 5 seasons for the New York Yankees before being traded to Milwaukee as part of a deal that sent former Brewers reliever Devin Williams to the Bronx.
Cortes started 30 games for New York last season, pitching to a record of 9-10 with an ERA of 3.77 and a WHIP of 1.15. The Florida native struck out 162 batters in 174.1 innings and tossed 13 quality starts for the Yankees last season. This game will likely be personal for Nestor Cortes, and I like Milwaukee to come out and play inspired baseball, avenging their Opening Day loss with an outright win two days later. The pick is Milwaukee +130 over New York at Bovada.lv.
