Milwaukee Brewers DFS SPIN
Mark Canha went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles as the Brewers were shut out by the Cubs on Tuesday night. The 34-year-old drew another start at first base on Tuesday night in place of the injured Carlos Santana. He chipped in a pair of singles — making him the only Brewers’ hitter to collect multiple knocks in the ballgame. For the season, he’s slashing .251/.345/.386 with eight homers, 43 RBI and seven stolen bases in 113 games between the Mets and Brewers.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger went 0-for-4 and drove in the game’s lone run on Tuesday night as the Cubs squeaked out a 1-0 victory over the Brewers. In a game that was almost completely bereft of offense, the Cubs scratched out a run in the opening inning as Nico Hoerner was hit by a pitch, Ian Happ followed with a double and Bellinger drove in Hoerner with a ground out to second base. That would be their only tally in the contest — but was also all the support that Justin Steele and company would need. Bellinger — the likely National League Comeback Player of the Year — is slashing an awfully impressive .317/.363/.538 with 20 homers, 76 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 427 plate appearances on the season.

Brewers vs. Cubs MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the Cubs. Woodruff is 2-0 with a 3.57 ERA over his last three starts (17 2/3 innings), but his 5.14 FIP is a strong indication that he isn’t pitching as well as his ERA would indicate. Meanwhile, Hendricks has posted a 3.13 ERA and 3.27 FIP over his last four starts (23 innings) and will be backed by a Chicago bullpen that has posted a collective ERA of 3.62 and a collective FIP of 2.68 over its last 32 1/3 innings. The Cubs’ offense has struggled over their past 10 games, but I’ll roll the dice today on Chicago given the pitching matchup.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: CHICAGO CUBS -112
