Arizona Diamondbacks DFS Spin
Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte reached base 3 times in his team’s 1-0 win over the Rockies on Sunday afternoon. In that game, the 2024 Silver Slugger Award winner went 2 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, a walk, and a run scored. For the season, Marte is hitting .273 with 6 homers, 10 RBIs, 1 stolen base, and an OPS of .949 in 77 at-bats. Ketel Marte is batting .333 against right-handed pitching this season. That fact makes the Diamondbacks infielder worth a look in DFS against Dodgers righty Landon Knack on Monday.
Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers catcher Will Smith drove in 75% of his team’s runs in their 6-4 loss to the Angels on Sunday. Hitting out of the #3 spot in the lineup, the Louisville, KY, native went 1 for 2 with a homer, 3 RBIs, 2 walks, and a run scored. Smith is hitting .339 with 4 homers, 24 RBIs, 2 stolen bases, and an OPS of .957 in 118 at-bats this year. The 30-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .383 with an OPS of 1.046 in home games this season. Monday’s game at Dodger Stadium could be a prime spot to use Will Smith in most DFS formats.

Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Betting Prediction
I like the Diamondbacks as money line underdogs in this contest. Arizona will send 26-year-old right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to the hill for this matchup. The Louisville, KY, native is having a solid start to his 3rd big league season. In 9 starts this year, Brandon Pfaadt is 6-3 with a 3.73 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, a 3.4 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 7.8 K/9, and a .266 opponent batting average. It’s worth noting that Pfaadt has already faced the Dodgers this season. In a home date with Los Angeles on May 8th, Brandon Pfaadt completed 6.1 innings, allowing 0 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks. He struck out 6 batters in a 5-3 Arizona win. I like Pfaadt’s chances to pitch well enough for the Diamondbacks to earn another win on Monday. The pick is Arizona +119 on the money line over Los Angeles at Bovada.lv.
