Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Max Muncy hit homer No. 30 of the season Saturday against the Red Sox. It was a two-run shot off James Paxton. Muncy became the sixth player in Dodgers history with four 30-homer seasons, joining Gil Hodges (six), Duke Snider (six), Eric Karros (five), Mike Piazza and Roy Campanella.
Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Alex Verdugo hit his third leadoff homer in three days Saturday as the Red Sox downed the Dodgers 8-5. Verdugo is just the third player in major league history to hit leadoff homers in three straight games. Ronald Acuña Jr. did it last in 2018. Brady Anderson actually did it in four straight games in 1996. Rickey could have done it, but Rickey wanted to steal bases instead.

Dodgers vs. Red Sox MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Ferguson is 7-3 with a 2.81 ERA on the season and today will be his fourth start of the season. He was the Dodgers’ opener on Thursday night in Cleveland, allowing one hit in a scoreless innings. Houck, meanwhile is 3-7 with a 5.08 ERA and has been on the 15-day injured list with a facial fracture since June 18. He allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two Astros across five innings in his last start. With the way these two teams are swinging the bats, give me the over today in Boston.
