Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman reached base 5 times in his team’s 9-5 loss to the Royals on Saturday afternoon. In that game, the 2020 NL MVP went 3 for 3 with a homer, an RBI, 2 walks, and 2 runs scored. For the season, Freeman is hitting .312 with 10 homers, 43 RBIs, and an OPS of .895 across 269 at-bats. Freddie Freeman is hitting .329 with an OPS of .959 in day games this season, making him an interesting DFS option for Sunday’s matinee matchup with Kansas City. 

Kansas City Royals DFS Spin

Royals second baseman Jonathan India scored one-third of his team’s runs in their 9-5 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the former Cincinnati Red went 4 for 5 with an RBI and 3 runs scored. India is hitting .246 with 4 homers, 23 RBIs, and an OPS of .664 in 289 at-bats this year. The 28-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .294 with an OPS of .785 against left-handed pitching this season. That fact means Jonathan India could have some DFS value against Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski on Sunday.
