San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-4 and scored three runs on Monday night as the Padres triumphed over the Cardinals. The 24-year-old superstar led off the sixth inning with a single off of Adam Wainwright and scored the game’s first run on an RBI single by Matt Carpenter. He then walked and scored on an RBI single by Garrett Cooper in the seventh inning. Tatis Jr. also singled and scored on Cooper’s two-run knock in the ninth. He continues to register terrific across-the-board production for fantasy purposes, slashing .262/.327/.458 with 20 homers, 66 RBI and 23 stolen bases.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 and clubbed a solo home run on Monday night, accounting for the Cardinals’ lone run in a loss to the Padres. The 35-year-old slugger finally got the Cardinals on the board and avoided the shutout with his solo shot off of Robert Suarez in the eighth inning. He also singled and drew a walk in the contest, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. He’s enjoying another strong all-around season — slashing .278/.366/.462 with 22 long balls, 69 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Padres vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Lugo is 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA and 3.72 FIP across his last four starts, spanning 20 1/3 innings in the process. Thompson, meanwhile, is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 4.77 FIP across his two starts, which covers 10 innings of work. Thompson has pitched well after he was inserted into St. Louis’ starting rotation but the Cardinals have given up on the season. Give me the Padres.
