Chicago Cubs DFS Spin

Cubs catcher Carson Kelly reached base 3 times in his team’s 6-2 win over the Brewers on Saturday night. In that game, the 30-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 2 with 2 walks and a run scored while hitting out of the cleanup spot. For the season, Kelly is batting .368 with 7 homers, 22 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.320. Carson Kelly is hitting .484 in road games this season, making him an interesting DFS option at American Family Field on Sunday.

Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin

Brewers second baseman Brice Turang had half of his team’s hits in their 6-2 loss to the Cubs on Saturday. Hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup, the 25-year-old left-handed hitter went 2 for 3 with 2 singles, an RBI, and a walk. Turang is hitting .323 with 3 homers, 16 RBIs, 8 steals, and an OPS of .789 this season. The Corona, CA, native is hitting .280 against left-handed pitching this season. That means that Brice Turang could have some DFS value despite facing Cubs lefty starter Shota Imanaga on Sunday.

Cubs vs. Brewers Betting Prediction

I like the Brewers in this matchup, largely because of Milwaukee starting pitcher Freddy Peralta. The 28-year-old right-hander is off to a good start in 2025. In 7 starts this season. Peralta is 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, a 2.9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and a .196 batting average against. Freddy Peralta has also been good against the Cubs in his career.

In 18 appearances against Chicago’s NL team, Peralta is 6-2 with a 3.16 ERA and 109 strikeouts in 77 innings of work. Sunday’s contest will likely be a low-scoring affair, but I like Freddy Peralta and the Brewers to emerge victorious. The pick is Milwaukee -110 on the money line over Chicago at Bovada.lv.
