Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Mookie Betts went 4-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, and two runs scored in Saturday’s 5-1 victory over the Mets. Betts cranked an opposite-field shot against Kodai Senga in the third inning, giving him his first home run to right field this season. He’s now up to 27 homers on the year to go along with 64 RBI and a monster .287/.387/.596 batting line. His .983 OPS is his high-water mark dating back to early April.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo homer as the Mets dropped another game to the Dodgers on Saturday. His fourth-inning solo shot was the only offense of the evening for the Mets, who now sit at 42-49 on the year. Nimmo is up to 14 home runs on the season, including nine since June 8. He’s well on his way to topping his career-high of 17 homers from 2018.

Dodgers vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I couldn’t care less that Scherzer is on the hill today – the Mets are a mess. They’ve dropped four straight games, are now eight games below .500, which includes a 20-21 record at home. Plus, even if Scherzer does pitch well, the Mets’ bullpen is likely to give it up late. Their 4.70 FIP since the beginning of July is the third-highest in baseball behind the A’s (5.02) and Nationals (5.16). Those are two teams you don’t want to be listed with for anything this season.
