Los Angeles Dodgers DFS Spin
Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went yard in his team’s 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday night. In that game, the three-time MVP went 1 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, and a run scored. For the season. Ohtani is batting .296 with 11 homers, 16 RBIs, 10 steals, and an OPS of 1.032. Shohei Ohtani is hitting .333 against left-handed pitching this season, making him an appealing DFS option against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on Friday.

Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks Betting Prediction
I like the Dodgers in this contest. A few numbers make the case for L.A. to win Game 2 of this series on Friday. The Dodgers are 20-12 straight up in National League games and 19-10 straight up when playing on no rest this season. What’s more, Los Angeles is 23-11 straight up as a favorite and 22-11 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest this year.
And finally, Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki hasn’t given up more than 3 earned runs in any of his 7 starts this season. I like the 23-year-old right-hander to keep that streak alive on Friday night. The pick is Los Angeles -130 on the money line over Arizona at Bovada.lv.
