San Diego Padres DFS Spin
Padres third baseman Manny Machado reached base 4 times in his team’s 7-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday afternoon. In that game, the six-time All-Star went 2 for 2 with an RBI and 2 walks. For the season, Machado is hitting .317 with 4 homers, 22 RBIs, 7 steals, and an OPS of .852 across 183 at-bats. Manny Machado is batting .358 over his last 15 games, making him an intriguing DFS option on Sunday.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves catcher Drake Baldwin recorded multiple hits in his club’s 7-1 win over the Padres on Saturday. Hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup, the 24-year-old left-handed hitter went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. Baldwin is hitting .355 with 5 homers, 15 RBIs, and an OPS of .959 in 93 at-bats this year. The rookie from Madison, WI, is batting .526 with an OPS of 1.377 in home games this season. That fact makes Drake Baldwin worthy of DFS consideration, provided he draws another start on Sunday afternoon.

Padres vs. Braves Betting Prediction
I like the Braves in this game, largely due to their starting pitcher, Spencer Schwellenbach. In 10 starts this year, the 24-year-old right-hander is 3-3 with a 3.52 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP, a 4.1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 7.2 K/9, and a .228 opponent batting average. Additionally, Atlanta is 6-4 as a team in Schwellenbach’s starts this season. The Saginaw, MI, native has also already posted a dominant outing against the Padres this year. On March 29th, Spencer Schwellenbach went 6 innings against San Diego, permitting 0 runs on 1 hit and 1 walk. He struck out 4 batters in a 1-0 Braves loss. I think Spencer Schwellenbach pitches well against the Padres again on Sunday, but this time his team will emerge victorious. The pick is Atlanta -140 on the money line over San Diego at Bovada.lv.
