Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Craig Kimbrel picked up his 21st save of the season despite allowing a walk and a hit in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over the Brewers. Kimbrel entered for the ninth with the Dodgers holding onto a 2-1 advantage and recorded the first two outs without issue. It just wouldn’t be a Craig Kimbrel appearance without some uncalled-for dramatics, of course, and the veteran reliever provided them when he gave up a single to Keston Hiura and a walk to Mike Brosseau with two outs. A subsequent Luis Urías ground out put that final threat to rest. With the scoreless ninth, Kimbrel improved to 21-of-25 in save opportunities. Despite holding a forgettable 4.56 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this season, he keeps (kind of) getting the job done, albeit in often-shaky fashion. It helps that he plays on the best team in baseball.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS SPIN
Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Wednesday’s loss to the Dodgers. Yelich picked up an RBI single against Caleb Ferguson in the eighth inning to get the Brewers on the scoreboard. They would not plate another run in the contest, ultimately losing by a narrow 2-1 score. Over the course of 416 at-bats this season, Yelich is hitting a modest .250/.355/.377 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and 16 steals. While his bat has been mostly quiet this season, the veteran outfielder has done well on the base paths, having already notched his sixth career campaign of at least 15 steals.

Dodgers vs. Brewers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Despite facing Burnes today, I do like the Dodgers to produce another victory. They’re 41-10 over their last 51 games overall, are a perfect 4-0 in their last four games when playing the fourth game of a series and are 4-1 in their last five road games when facing an opponent with a winning record. The Brewers, meanwhile, are just 1-4 in their last five home games when facing a left-handed starter and are winless in their last four games when facing an opponent’s starter that owns a WHIP less than 1.15.
