Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy had a stellar game in L.A.’s 6-5 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday. Hitting fifth in a potent Dodgers lineup Muncy went 2 for 4 with a solo home run and an RBI double for good measure. For the season Muncy has an OPS of .850 and he’s hit 16 homers and driven in 37 runs this year. If Tampa Bay elects to use a right-handed starter, Muncy might have some success at the plate on Sunday.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS Spin
Tampa Bay designated hitter Harold Ramirez also had a good game on Saturday. The Colombian national hit a two-run 8th-inning home run off Clayton Kershaw, and added an additional base hit to finish 2 for 5 with a pair of RBIs and a run scored. Ramirez has been tearing it up at the plate this season as he’s slashing .292/.342/.514 with 6 doubles, 8 home runs, and 23 RBIs on the campaign. Ramirez has a .948 OPS at Tropicana Field this season and he could be in for a big day against Dodgers starter Gavin Stone, who sports a 10.13 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP this season.

Dodgers vs. Rays Betting Prediction
The Rays were slated to start Taj Bradley for this game, but it appears Tampa is going to go with someone else. If the Rays make it a bullpen game, they should be alright as they rank 4th in the majors with a team ERA of 3.67. Tampa is also one of the better defensive clubs in baseball as they rank 6th in the majors in defensive rating according to FanGraphs.com. The Rays split the first two games of this series, but I like them to take the rubber match at home on Sunday.
MLB Betting Prediction: TAMPA BAY RAYS -130
