Miami Marlins DFS SPIN
Josh Bell went 1-for-4 and cranked a solo home run on Saturday night, accounting for the Marlins’ lone run in a loss to the Dodgers. The 31-year-old slugger got the Dodgers on the board first in this one with a towering 431-foot blast off of Julio Urías in the opening inning. That wound wind up being the extent of the Marlins’ offense in the game. Overall on the season, Bell is hitting an underwhelming .242/.324/.419 with 17 homers and 59 RBI in 114 games between the Guardians and Marlins.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Manny Machado hit a pair of solo homers against the Diamondbacks in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Machado, the NL Player of the Month for July, had been quiet during the first 18 days of August, hitting .172/.290/.293. He turned that around today, though neither homer was crushed; he hit the first one 374 feet and the second 368 feet. He’s at 23 homers for the year.

Marlins vs. Padres MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. Cueto hasn’t pitched well over the past month, but Wacha has since returning from injury and neither of these offenses have lit it up of late. Both bullpens have been average, but I’m making this selection mostly based on how each offense has been mostly fine.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: MARLINS/PADRES UNDER 8.5
