Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins only had one hit in Friday’s loss to the Dodgers, but he made it count. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the lineup, Hoskins went 1 for 4 with a 4th-inning grand slam off of Dodgers’ ace Tyler Glasnow. Hoskins has been hitting fairly well this year as he’s slashing .218/.311/.402 with 12 homers, 42 RBIs, and an OPS of .713. Hoskins is batting .250 against current active Dodgers pitchers, so you could deploy him as a cheaper DFS option at first base on Saturday.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers catcher Will Smith had a career night on Friday as he propelled L.A. to an 8-5 win over Milwaukee. The Louisville native hit out of the #2 spot in the lineup and went 3 for 3 with 3 homers, 3 RBIs, 4 runs scored, and 2 walks. For the season, Will Smith is slashing .276/.349/.502 with 18 doubles, 14 homers, 53 RBIs, and 45 runs scored. Smith is hitting .325 with runners in scoring position this year, making him a potentially valuable player for DFS purposes on Saturday.

Brewers vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction
The Brewers have been quietly having a splendid season. Milwaukee is leading the National League Central division with a record of 52-37 in 2024. That record is the third-best mark in the NL behind only the Phillies and Dodgers. The Brewers also have the third-best run differential in the senior circuit at +74 this year. The key has been bouncing back after defeats. The Brewers are 22-14 straight up after a loss this season, which is the fifth-best mark in all of baseball.
Milwaukee has the added bonus of starting their ace Freddy Peralta on Saturday night against the Dodgers. Peralta is 6-4 this season with a 3.83 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and 120 strikeouts in 94 innings (11.5 K/9). The Brewers are 12-5 straight up in games that Peralta has started this season, and I like them to improve that record here. I’m taking the Brewers on the money line to win the game outright in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
