Arizona Diamondbacks DFS Spin
Diamondbacks center fielder Corbin Carroll had a big day at the plate in his team’s 4-3 win over the Padres on Thursday night. In that game, the Seattle native went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 runs scored. Carroll is having a tough season this year as he’s hitting .201 with 2 homers, 20 RBIs, and a .575 OPS, but he does have 10 stolen bases and hits at the top of a good lineup. If Carroll’s price is deflated in DFS, he could be worth a look for a spot start on Friday night against San Diego.
San Diego Padres DFS Spin
Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. also recorded 3 hits on Thursday night during his team’s home loss to the Diamondbacks. The 2021 All-Star went 3 for 5 with a double and a run scored while hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup. Tatis is slashing an impressive .283/.356/.450 this season with 10 homers, 32 RBIs, 41 runs scored and 7 stolen bases on the campaign. In 15 at-bats, Tatis is hitting .400 with an OPS of 1.067 against Arizona this season, so he’d be a nice high-ceiling option in DFS this weekend.

Diamondbacks vs. Padres Betting Prediction
Arizona has been playing good baseball over the past week. Since June 1st, the Diamondbacks are 5-1 straight up with wins over the Mets, Giants, and Padres during that span. The key during that winning stretch has been run prevention. In each of those 5 victories, Arizona gave up 5 runs or fewer. Their starting pitcher on Friday will likely be Brandon Pfaadt.
Pfaadt has given up 4 earned runs apiece in his last two starts, but he does have 6 quality starts this season, a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 5.1 and he’s striking out nearly a batter per inning this season with a K/9 of 8.8. The Diamondbacks are 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games overall against the Padres, and I like Arizona to continue their run of dominance over their NL West opponents on Friday. I’m taking the Diamondbacks as money line underdogs on the road in San Diego.
