Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers first baseman Cavan Biggio had a big day at the dish in his team’s 7-6 loss to the Astros on Saturday. Hitting out of the #8 spot in the lineup, Biggio went 2 for 3 with a double, a homer, 2 RBIs, a run scored, and a walk. Biggio isn’t having a great season as he’s hitting .202 with 4 homers, 15 RBIs, and a .626 OPS across 194 plate appearances in 2024. But the left-handed hitter from Houston is hitting .242 with a .702 OPS during day games this year. He might be worth a look as a cheaper DFS option on Sunday.
Houston Astros DFS Spin
Astros catcher Yainer Diaz had a game-high 3 hits in his club’s 7-6 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. In that contest, the 25-year-old right-handed hitter went 3 for 4 with a triple, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Diaz is having an excellent season as he’s hitting .289 with 8 homers, 55 RBIs, and a .733 OPS across 380 plate appearances in 2024. The Houston backstop is hitting significantly better at home (.298 average, .757 OPS) than on the road (.269 average, .684 OPS) this season. That could make him worthy of DFS consideration at home against L.A. on Sunday.

Dodgers vs. Astros Betting Prediction
Houston is currently riding a 3-game winning streak. Several numbers point to that streak continuing on Sunday. The Astros are 30-21 straight up as the home team and 41-33 straight up as a favorite in 2024. What’s more, Houston is 29-25 straight up after a win and 27-17 straight up as a home favorite this year. The Astros beat the Dodgers in the 2017 World Series, and I like Houston to beat L.A. again on Sunday. Houston on the money line is the pick.
