Cincinnati Reds DFS Spin
Reds center fielder TJ Friedl had a game-high 3 hits in his team’s 6-5 win over the Brewers on Friday night. In that contest, the Cincinnati leadoff hitter went 3 for 5 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Friedl is hitting .247 with 4 homers, 15 RBIs, 14 runs, and 5 stolen bases this season. Spanning just 85 plate appearances, he has an OPS of .791. TJ Friedl has an OPS of .918 so far this month, making him an appealing option in most DFS formats.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers catcher William Contreras provided the team’s only extra-base hit of the night against the Reds on Friday. In that game, Contreras went 2 for 5 with a 3rd-inning solo home run. He also recorded an RBI and 2 runs scored while hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup. William Contreras has been one of the best catchers in baseball this season, as he’s slashing .307/.370/.473 with 17 doubles, 9 homers, 48 RBIs, 52 runs scored, and 5 stolen bases in 2024. He might be worth the relatively steep price tag in DFS on Saturday.

Reds vs. Brewers Betting Prediction
Cincinnati was very fortunate to win Friday night’s game against the Brewers. In a 6-5 road win, the Reds walked 8 batters, committed 5 errors, and needed an overturned play at the plate in the 9th inning to prevent the tying run from being scored. If they don’t play better on Saturday than they did on Friday, I think the Brewers will win.
Milwaukee has a few numbers on their side heading into this contest. The Brewers are 16-9 straight up in division games and 20-12 straight up in home games this season. Milwaukee is also 20-12 straight up as a favorite and 21-16 in National League games this season. In games where Brewers starter Bryse Wilson has completed at least 3 innings, Milwaukee is 6-5 straight up this year. I like the Beermakers to bounce back with an outright win against the Redlegs at home on Saturday afternoon.
