Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Philadelphia second baseman Bryson Stott was adept at setting the table in the Phillies’ 6-4 win over the Braves on Friday night. Stott went 2 for 3 with 2 walks and two runs scored. He even swiped 3 bases for good measure. For the season, Bryson Stott is slashing .294/.333/.412 with 5 home runs and 20 RBIs. He’ll have the platoon advantage over Atlanta’s Charlie Morton on Saturday, and that should make him worth a look in most DFS formats.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Atlanta designated hitter Marcell Ozuna raked on Friday night. The former Miami Marlin went 3 for 4 with an 8th-inning solo home run. He led the Braves in hits on Friday and has been on a tear this week. In the past seven days, Ozuna is 10 for 24 (.417 batting average) with 2 doubles, 2 home runs, and 7 RBIs. Ozuna actually hits better against right-handed pitchers (.824 OPS) than against left-handed pitchers (.775 OPS), and he could be in line for some considerable production against Philadelphia’s Zach Wheeler on Saturday.

Phillies vs. Braves Betting Prediction
The Phillies have one of the best power lineups in baseball. Philadelphia has 7 players with at least 4 home runs this season and they have 5 players with at least 20 RBIs on the year. When players like Alec Bohm (.740 OPS) and Brandon Marsh (.842 OPS) are hitting seventh and eighth in the lineup respectively, that speaks to the depth of the Phillies’ lineup. I think Charlie Morton’s high WHIP of 1.41 comes back to bite him in this game. I’ll take the Phillies as money-line underdogs on the road in Atlanta on Saturday.
MLB Betting Prediction: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +115
