Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves third baseman Austin Riley knocked in 20% of his team’s runs in their 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday. In that game, the Memphis, TN, native went 2 for 5 with a homer, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. For the season, Riley is hitting .273 with 11 homers, 35 RBIs, 2 steals, and an OPS of .776 in 249 at-bats. Austin Riley is batting .285 with an OPS of .825 in night games this season, making him an interesting DFS option for Friday night’s contest.
San Francisco Giants DFS Spin
Giants first baseman Dominic Smith drove in the bulk of his club’s runs in their 3-2 win over the Padres on Thursday. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the lineup, the 11th overall pick of the 2013 MLB Draft went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 RBIs. Smith is hitting .375 with 2 RBIs and an OPS of .875 in 8 at-bats this season. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter batted .255 with 8 homers, 28 RBIs, 4 steals, and an OPS of .781 in 45 appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. Dominic Smith could have some DFS value if he draws another start for the Giants on Friday.

Braves vs. Giants Betting Prediction
I like the Braves in this matchup, largely because of their starting pitcher, Spencer Schwellenbach. The 25-year-old right-hander is in the midst of a breakout 2025 campaign. In 12 starts this season, Schwellenbach is 4-4 with a 3.13 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, a 5.9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, an 8.6 K/9, and a .229 opponent batting average. Perhaps more importantly, Atlanta is 7-5 straight up in the Saginaw, MI, native’s starts this season. Spencer Schwellenbach has tossed 9 quality starts in 12 outings this year. I like him to make it 10 out of 13 on Friday. The pick is Atlanta -135 on the money line over San Francisco at Bovada.lv.
