San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Gary Sánchez went 2-for-4 and blasted a two-run homer on Sunday as the Padres fell to the Brewers in Milwaukee. The hard-hitting 30-year-old backstop broke a 1-1 tie with his 378-foot two-run shot off of Brewers’ starter Adrian Houser in the second inning. He’s never going to hit for a high batting average, but Sánchez has been a productive addition for the Padres this season — slashing .215/.287/.493 with 18 long balls and 45 RBI.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Lars Nootbaar (abdomen) has increased baseball activities and could be activated during the Cardinals’ next homestand. Nootbaar has been on the shelf since August 17 after being hit with a foul tip in a very sensitive area. He could be activated during the next homestand in St. Louis, which runs from August 28 through September 3.

Padres vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Padres are expensive but they’re the only play tonight in St. Louis. Wainwright is 3-9 with a 8.61 ERA on the season and didn’t survive the fifth inning in his most recent start, which was a 6-3 loss at the Pirates on August 22. Snell, meanwhile, is 10-9 with a 2.73 ERA on the yar and is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three career starts against the Cardinals. St. Louis also has a wRC+ of 85 over its last 13 games, which is one of the lowest marks in the league over the past two weeks.
