Detroit Tigers DFS Spin
Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler drove in 60% of his team’s runs in their 8-5 loss to the Dodgers on Friday night. The 26-year-old Massillon, OH native went 2 for 5 with a homer, a triple, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. Dingler is hitting .400 with 1 homer, 3 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.800 this season. The right-handed hitter should draw another start behind the dish on Saturday. If he does, Dillon Dingler is worth a look in most DFS formats.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts had a monster day at the plate in his team’s 8-5 win over the Tigers on Friday. Hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup, the 2018 AL MVP went 3 for 5 with 2 homers, 4 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. Betts hit a walk-off three-run bomb in the 10th inning of Friday’s game to secure his team’s 4th consecutive win to open the season. Mookie Betts is batting .500 with 2 homers, 4 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.806 this year. His skill set and lineup position make him worthy of DFS consideration this weekend and going forward.

Tigers vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction
I like the Dodgers to win this game by at least 2 runs on Saturday. Their pitcher will be a big reason why. L.A. will be sending 23-year-old Roki Sasaki to the hill for this game. He went 10-5 with a 2.35 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, a 10.5 K/9, and a 4.03 K-BB while pitching for the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan’s top league, the NPB, last season.
Sasaki averaged 98.4 miles per hour on his fastball in 2022 as a 19-year-old, and his fastball has been clocked at 102.5 miles per hour. The Dodgers rookie from Rikuzentakata, Japan, threw a perfect game in 2022, holds the NPB record for strikeouts in a single game with 19, and holds the world record for consecutive strikeouts with 13. I think Roki Sasaki will twirl a gem on Saturday as the Dodgers cruise to a relatively sweat-free win. The pick is Los Angeles -1.5 runs at +100 odds over Detroit at Bovada.lv.
