Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin

Brewers center fielder Jackson Chourio recorded multiple hits in his team’s 5-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday afternoon. In that game, the 21-year-old right-handed hitter went 2 for 5 with 2 singles, an RBI, and a run scored. For the season, Chourio is hitting .258 with 9 homers, 35 RBIs, 11 steals, and an OPS of .726 in 256 at-bats. Jackson Chourio is hitting .313 with an OPS of .947 in his last 7 games, making him an interesting DFS option on Monday.

Cincinnati Reds DFS Spin

Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz drove in the majority of his club’s runs in their 7-3 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. Hitting out of the #3 spot in the batting order, the 2024 MLB stolen base leader went 2 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, a walk, and 2 runs scored. De La Cruz is hitting .258 with 12 homers, 42 RBIs, 17 steals, and an OPS of .786 in 233 at-bats this year. The 23-year-old switch-hitter is batting .288 with an .899 OPS against right-handed pitching this season. That fact makes Elly De La Cruz worthy of DFS consideration against Brewers righty Aaron Civale on Monday.

Brewers vs. Reds Betting Prediction

I like the Brewers in this matchup. Milwaukee is currently riding a seven-game winning streak that includes 3-game sweeps of the Red Sox at home and the Phillies on the road. Some other numbers point to the Brew Crew winning this contest outright on Monday. 

Milwaukee is 19-12 straight up after a win and 28-24 straight up when playing on no rest this season. What’s more, the Brewers are 29-25 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest and 2-1 straight up in starting pitcher Aaron Civale’s starts this year. The pick is Milwaukee +105 on the money line over Cincinnati at Bovada.lv.
