Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Freddie Freeman went 4-for-5 and scored three times in the Dodgers’ 7-4 win over the Red Sox on Friday. Freeman outshined Mookie Betts in the latter’s return to Fenway, though Betts also contributed with a double, a walk and two runs scored. Freeman lifted his average to .341, putting him within shouting distance of Luis Arraez at .354. What’s not in doubt is the doubles crown. Freeman collected his 48th tonight, giving him 11 more than anyone else in either league. Freeman has never led his league in a triple crown category, but this will almost certainly be the fourth time he’s topped the NL in doubles.
Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Alex Verdugo led off with a homer for a second straight game Friday and finished 3-for-5 against the Dodgers. With everyone getting worked up for Mookie Betts’ return to Boston, Verdugo, the most notable player the Red Sox acquired from the Dodgers in the Betts trade, seemed to think he had something to prove tonight, and he definitely enjoyed the homer. He also had what appeared to be a big hit in the eighth with two on, but the Red Sox decided to hold Triston Casas at third, even with two outs. Connor Wong, not realizing it as he rounded second, was retired in a rundown on the play. Verdugo is 12-for-24 in his last five games, pushing his average back up to .282, and he’s on pace for a four-WAR season.

Dodgers vs. Red Sox MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the Dodgers today in Boston. Following their come-from-behind victory over the Red Sox last night, the Boys in Blue are 20-3 this month. After a rough first half, Urias has also turned things around. Today he aims for his fifth consecutive win and is 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA in five starts since his last loss (July 19 at Baltimore). Paxton, meanwhile, is in the midst of an excellent season and has been outstanding at home, but he also took a loss after allowing seven runs – six earned – on nine hits across four innings on Monday against the Astros.
