Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas had a team-high 2 hits in his team’s 9-2 loss to the Brewers on Sunday. In that contest, the 35-year-old from Venezuela went 2 for 2 with 2 doubles, a run scored, and a walk. Rojas is having a solid season as he’s slashing .291/.337/.442 in 179 plate appearances. Rojas is hitting .341 with an OPS of .834 on the road this season, making him an appealing option in DFS on Tuesday.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies left fielder Whit Merrifield was the only player on his team to record multiple hits in their 6-0 loss to the Braves on Sunday. In that contest, the veteran from Florence, South Carolina went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a stolen base. Merrifield is only hitting .197 this year, but he’s picking it up of late. In the last 7 days, Whit Merrifield is batting .286 with 4 hits and 4 stolen bases across 14 at-bats. If Merrifield draws another start, he might be a nice cheaper option in DFS against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Dodgers vs. Phillies Betting Prediction
The Dodgers have the fourth-best road record in the league at 27-17 this year. Los Angeles is also 22-14 straight up since May 27th. As a team, Los Angeles ranks third in MLB in home runs, third in RBIs, second in total bases, sixth in hits, first in on-base percentage, second in slugging percentage, and second in OPS this season. The Dodgers are facing Phillies ace Zack Wheeler on Tuesday, but he hasn’t gone more than 7 innings in a game this season, and I’m not sure anyone can hold this potent Dodgers lineup completely in check over 9 innings. It’s not often you get to bet on the Dodgers as an underdog, so that’s what I’m going to do here. I’m taking L.A. on the money on the road in Philly on Tuesday night.
