Chicago Cubs DFS Spin
Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker recorded the team’s only extra-base hit in their 3-0 loss to the Dodgers on Friday night. The left-handed hitter from Tampa, FL went 1 for 4 with a double while hitting second in the batting order. Tucker is hitting .317 with 5 homers, 16 RBIs, 3 steals, and an OPS of 1.109 this year. The former Astro is hitting .379 in road games this season. That fact makes Kyle Tucker worth a look in most DFS formats.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman provided all of his team’s offense in their 3-0 win over the Cubs on Friday. Hitting out of the #5 spot in the batting order, Edman went 1 for 4 with a homer, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. The switch hitter from Pontiac, MI, is batting .259 with 6 homers, 14 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of .893 this year. Tommy Edman has a .988 OPS against right-handed pitching this season. That fact makes the former Cardinal an interesting DFS option against Cubs righty starter Ben Brown on Saturday.

Cubs vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction
I like the Dodgers in this game. Chicago’s starting pitcher, Ben Brown, has an ERA of 7.71 and a WHIP of 2.23 in 3 appearances this season. Opposing batters are hitting .327 with a .916 OPS against Brown this year. Against an explosive offense like the Dodgers, that’s likely going to be an issue. L.A. is 7-0 straight up at home this season, and I like the Dodgers to improve that record to 8-0 on Saturday. The pick is Los Angeles -180 on the money line over Chicago at Bovada.lv.
