Padres vs. Brewers Prediction
One night after mounting a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, the Brewers are once again home chalk against the Padres. With ace Corbin Burnes on the hill to oppose Joe Musgrove, are the Brew Crew a wise play as moneyline favorites?

San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Jorge Alfaro went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and two walks Thursday against the Brewers. The two walks are the big oddity here. Alfaro came into the night with a 35/3 K/BB ratio in 84 plate appearances this season. Last year, he walked 11 times in 311 plate appearances. Alfaro is up to .275/.318/.438 for the season, and with the Padres struggling offensively, he might be in line to take playing time away from Aaron Nola. That would make him an option in two-catcher mixed leagues.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Jace Peterson went 2-for-4 and delivered a three-run triple in the ninth as the Brewers came back to beat the Padres 5-4 on Thursday. This one was a gut punch for the Padres, who led 4-1 entering the bottom of the ninth. Peterson’s shot off Taylor Rogers tied it, and Andrew McCutchen then singled Peterson in to win the game. Peterson has two triples and two doubles the last two games, raising his OPS from .693 to .796. That’s pretty good for someone who is only playing regularly because Willy Adames is hurt.
