Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers second baseman Miguel Rojas recorded half of his team’s hits in their 5-1 loss to the Padres on Saturday night. In that game, the 36-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 2 with a single. For the season, Rojas is hitting .257 with 6 homers, 18 RBIs, 2 steals, and an OPS of .714 across 202 at-bats. Miguel Rojas is batting .467 with an OPS of 1.062 over his last 7 games, making him an intriguing DFS option on Sunday.
San Diego Padres DFS Spin
Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts drove in 40% of his club’s runs in their 5-1 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. Hitting out of the #5 spot in the batting order, the 4-time All-Star went 1 for 3 with a double, 2 RBIs, a walk, and a run scored. Bogaerts is hitting .264 with 10 homers, 48 RBIs, 19 steals, and an OPS of .724 in 459 at-bats this year. The 5-time Silver Slugger Award winner is batting .600 with an OPS of 1.736 in 10 career at-bats against Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. That fact makes Xander Bogaerts worthy of DFS consideration on Sunday.

Dodgers vs. Padres Betting Prediction
I like Los Angeles in this matchup, largely because of their starting pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. In 24 starts spanning 133.2 innings this year, Yamamoto is 10-8 with a 2.90 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, a 3.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 10.2 K/9, and a .201 opponent batting average. Perhaps most importantly, the Dodgers are 13-11 straight up in Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s starts this season. I think the 2025 All-Star tosses his 14th quality start of the season on Sunday afternoon as the Dodgers earn an outright win. The pick is Los Angeles -110 on the money line over San Diego at Bovada.lv.
