San Diego Padres DFS Spin
San Diego left fielder Juan Soto hit a two-run home run in the Padres’ 5-1 win over the Yankees on Friday night. The lefty also added a double and an additional run scored to finish 2 for 5 in San Diego’s series-opening victory. Soto has been great on the road this season as he’s slashing .300/.451/.575 with 5 home runs, and 7 doubles across 80 at-bats away from Petco Park. He will have the platoon advantage over Yankees’ starter Luis Severino and may be in line for a big day on Saturday afternoon.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 2 for 4 with an RBI in New York’s 5-1 loss to San Diego on Friday night. Rizzo drove in the Yankees’ only run in the contest. Rizzo is having a phenomenal start to the year as he’s slashing .305/.378/.513 with 11 home runs and 31 RBIs on the season. Rizzo has had success against Padres pitcher Michael Wacha dating back to their days as NL Central opponents. The big first baseman is 21 for 53 (.396 batting average) against Michael Wacha with an OPS of 1.072. Rizzo seems like a good DFS play in Game 2 of this series.

Padres vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
San Diego starting pitcher Michael Wacha is quietly having a terrific season. The veteran is 5-1 with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. He boasts a solid 3.2 strikeout-to-walk rate and has won his last three starts. Wacha has only permitted 1 earned run in 25 innings pitched this month and I believe he’ll continue to pitch well on Saturday. I like the Padres to win the game outright in this daytime showdown in the Bronx.
