Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Corbin Carroll went 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBI on Saturday as the Diamondbacks throttled the Dodgers 11-2 in Game 1 of the NLDS in Los Angeles. Carroll opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Clayton Kershaw during a six-run uprising in the first inning. He then tagged Emmet Sheehan for a 421-foot (110.0 mph EV) solo shot leading off the second inning. He has been outstanding through his first three postseason contests — hitting .500 (6-for-12) with two homers and four RBI.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Will Smith prevented the Dodgers from being shut out by the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday night, lining an opposite-field two-run triple off of Miguel Castro in the eighth inning. Smith plated Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman with the three-bagger, trimming the Dodgers’ deficit to nine runs at 11-2. He singled in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. That two-run knock at least gave the Dodgers a moral victory at the end of the game, and gives them a slightly better feeling heading into Game 2 on Monday — as opposed to being shut out completely.

Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Game 2MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take Arizona. Hey, what not? It’s not the hottest team entering the playoffs that makes a deep run, it’s the team that gets hot when the postseason begins. After pulling off three straight upsets to start the playoffs, Arizona is officially hot. The Diamondbacks also have Gallen on the hill tonight, which is huge. He owns a .208 expected batting average against the current L.A. roster, as well as a .370 expected slugging percentage and a .287 xwOBA. I’m riding this wave.
