Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was the only member of his team to record multiple hits in their 4-3 win over the Tigers on Friday. In that contest, the former Brave went 2 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. The 2020 NL MVP is having another fantastic year, as he’s slashing .294/.398/.499 with 14 homers and 59 RBIs this season. Freeman has an OPS of 1.089 in day games this year. That means he’s worth a look in DFS for Saturday’s matinee matchup with the Tigers in Detroit.
Detroit Tigers DFS Spin
Tigers center fielder Riley Greene drove in two-thirds of his team’s runs in their 4-3 loss to the Dodgers on Friday night. The former #5 overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft went 1 for 4 with a double and 2 RBIs. For the season, Greene has posted a slash line of .266/.359/.497 with 17 homers and 50 RBIs. He’s batting .261 with an OPS of .810 at home this season, making Greene worthy of DFS consideration in most formats.

Dodgers vs. Tigers Betting Prediction
The Dodgers are the better team, and they proved that by winning Game 1 of this series on Friday night. But several numbers really demonstrate how good Los Angeles has been this year. The Dodgers are an MLB-best 14-7 straight up in interleague games this season. What’s more, L.A. is 27-20 straight up as the road team and 47-30 straight up when playing on no rest this season.
And finally, the Dodgers are 53-33 straight up as a favorite and 53-36 when playing an opponent on equal rest this year. I like Los Angeles to make it 2 wins in a row over the Tigers on Saturday afternoon.
