Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers catcher Will Smith had a game-high 3 hits in his team’s 7-2 win over the Brewers on Tuesday night. Hitting out of the #6 spot in the lineup, the right-handed hitter from Louisville went 3 for 4 with a double, a homer, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. For the season, Smith is hitting .251 with 16 homers, 62 RBIs, and a .775 OPS across 420 plate appearances. Will Smith has a .794 OPS in road games this season, making him an intriguing DFS option in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins delivered one-third of his club’s hits in their 7-2 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday. In that contest, the former Philly went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles. Across 379 plate appearances this year, Hoskins is hitting .230 with 20 home runs, 59 RBIs, and an OPS of .756. The right-handed hitter from Sacramento is batting .304 with an OPS of .863 over the past 7 days. That fact makes Rhys Hoskins relevant for DFS purposes on Wednesday night.

Dodgers vs. Brewers Betting Prediction
Los Angeles will trot out right-handed starter Walker Buehler for this game. He is making his first start in nearly a month after being on the injured list with a hip injury. The season-long numbers for Walker Buehler haven’t been pretty in 2024. In 8 starts this season, the two-time All-Star is 1-4 with a 5.84 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP, a 7.5 K/9, and an opponent batting average of .301. It’s worth noting that Buehler has had Tommy John surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow twice. He missed the entire 2023 season recovering from his second Tommy John surgery. It’s unknown if he’ll be on a pitch count Wednesday or how effective he’ll be when he does pitch. Due to the uncertainty of Walker Buehler’s performance and status, I’m taking the Brewers on the money line as home underdogs in this one.
