Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts had the team’s only RBI in their 2-1 extra-innings win over the Phillies on Thursday night in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. In that game, the 8-time All-Star went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, and an RBI. During the regular season, Betts hit .258 with 20 homers, 82 RBIs, 8 steals, and an OPS of .732 across 589 at-bats. Mookie Betts is batting .385 with an OPS of 1.006 in 6 playoff games this year, making him an intriguing DFS option on Monday.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Brewers catcher William Contreras drove in one-third of his club’s runs in their 3-1 win over the Cubs on Saturday in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Hitting out of the #3 spot in the lineup, the 2-time All-Star went 1 for 4 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. Across 566 regular-season at-bats, Contreras hit .260 with 17 homers, 76 RBIs, 6 steals, and an OPS of .754. The 2-time Silver Slugger Award winner is batting .300 with an OPS of .983 in 5 playoff games this season. That fact makes William Contreras worthy of DFS consideration on Monday.

Dodgers vs. Brewers Betting Prediction
I like the Brewers here. Milwaukee will be the underdog on Monday and likely for most of the games in this series. The Brewers have thrived in that spot this year, though. Milwaukee is 37-32 straight up as an underdog and 11-8 straight up as a home underdog this season.
Additionally, the Brewers have played quite well against the Dodgers this year and over the past few seasons. Milwaukee is 6-0 straight up against Los Angeles this season, and the Brewers are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 games against the Dodgers.
One final note will make the case for Milwaukee in this contest. The Brewers are 55-29 straight at home in 2025, which is the third-best home record in baseball this season. The Dodgers are close to .500 away from Dodger Stadium this year. Los Angeles is 41-40 straight up on the road this season and 33-31 straight up as road favorites this year.
Milwaukee beat Los Angeles in Game 1 of the 2018 NLCS at home 7 years ago. I think the Brew Crew does it again here. The pick is Milwaukee +128 on the money line over Los Angeles at Bovada.lv.
