Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman drove in all of his team’s runs in their 3-2 loss to the Phillies on Friday. In that game, the switch hitter from Pontiac, MI, went 1 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and a run scored. For the season, Edman is hitting .286 with 5 homers, 9 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of 1.011. The Dodgers utilityman is hitting .353 over the past 7 days, making Edman worth a look in the majority of DFS formats.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott drove in one-third of his team’s runs in their 3-2 win over the Dodgers on Friday. Hitting out of the #8 spot in the batting order, the left-handed hitter from Las Vegas went 1 for 3 with a single and an RBI. Stott is hitting .286 with 1 homer, 3 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of .899 this year. Last season, Bryson Stott had 28 extra-base hits against right-handed pitching. That fact means he should have some DFS value against Dodgers right-handed starter Roki Sasaki on Saturday.

Dodgers vs. Phillies Betting Prediction
Philadelphia handed Los Angeles their first loss of the season on Friday. I like the Phillies to make it two in a row on Saturday. The main reason is Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki. Sasaki is a 23-year-old flamethrower from Iwate, Japan. He’s had a tough start to his MLB career. In 2 starts, Sasaki has completed just 4.2 innings. He’s allowed 3 earned runs and 9 walks while only striking out 5 batters. For the season, Roki Sasaki’s ERA is 5.79, and his WHIP is an astronomical 2.79. The young right-hander will probably figure it out eventually, but I can’t back him against an offense as strong as Philadelphia’s. I’m taking the Phillies in this one. The pick is Philadelphia -115 on the money line over Los Angeles at Bovada.lv.
