Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers catcher Will Smith drove in half of his team’s runs in their 2-1 win over the Braves on Friday. In that game, the Louisville, KY, native went 1 for 3 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI. For the season, Smith is batting .316 with 3 homers, 18 RBIs, 2 steals, and an OPS of .912. The 30-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .367 when he occupies the #5 spot in the batting order. That fact makes Will Smith worth a look in most DFS formats if he’s batting fifth again on Saturday.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves first baseman Matt Olson drove in his team’s only run in their 2-1 loss to the Dodgers on Friday. Hitting out of the #4 spot in the batting order, the Atlanta native went 1 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, a walk, and a run scored. Olson is batting .236 with 5 homers, 16 RBIs, and an OPS of .796 this season. Matt Olson is batting .283 over his past 15 games, making him an interesting DFS option on Saturday night.

Dodgers vs. Braves Betting Prediction
I like the Braves in this matchup. Atlanta will have the starting pitching advantage in this contest. Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach has pitched better than Los Angeles starter Roki Sasaki this season. Scwellenbach’s WHIP is 0.98, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio is 5.5. Sasaki’s WHIP is 1.42, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio is 1.1. Schwellenbach has an ERA of 2.87 and 5 quality starts this year. Sasaki’s ERA is 3.55, and he has 1 quality start in 2025. It might seem wild to go against the Dodgers, but I think the Braves are well-positioned to earn a much-needed outright win on Saturday. The pick is Atlanta -110 on the money line over Los Angeles at Bovada.lv.
