High Stakes: Today's DFS Showdowns That Can't Be Missed

Now, let's take a look at the matchups that are on our radar for today. We'll be focusing on the games we find most interesting, using stats to discuss why.

🔥 Brewers 78-62 (+121) vs Yankees 70-71 (-144) 8.5 O/U

The Brewers are taking on the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, one of the top 3 ballparks in baseball for HR's allowing 1.52 per game. Brewers' pitcher Wade Miley (3.54 ERA, 382 Batters Faced) will be up against Yankees' Michael King (2.88 ERA, 323 Batters Faced). This matchup is interesting from a betting perspective because of the over/under and the odds.

❄️ Mets 64-76 (+121) vs Twins 74-67 (-144) 8.5 O/U

The Mets are up against the Twins, with David Peterson (5.40 ERA, 395 Batters Faced) facing off against Kenta Maeda (4.73 ERA, 349 Batters Faced). Peterson is one of the worst starters in baseball, allowing 5.4 runs per game. The Twins are the easiest team to strikeout in baseball, leading the league at 10. This makes the game interesting from a DFS perspective.

🔥 Diamondbacks 74-68 (+117) vs Cubs 76-66 (-140) 6.5 O/U

The Diamondbacks are squaring off against the Cubs. Diamondbacks' pitcher Merrill Kelly (3.34 ERA, 600 Batters Faced) will be up against Cubs' Justin Steele (2.90 ERA, 624 Batters Faced). Kelly has the #22 highest strikeout rate in baseball, averaging 6.36 per start. This matchup is interesting from a betting perspective because of the over/under and the odds.

Favorite Matchup Of The Day

Out of the matchups above, my favorite pick of the day is the Brewers at +121. With Miley's solid ERA and the Yankees' struggle to maintain a consistent performance, the Brewers have a good chance of coming out on top. 🍀
