San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Tuesday in the Padres’ extra-inning loss to the Cardinals. Kim put San Diego ahead by a pair of runs with an eight-inning RBI sacrifice fly and wound up reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances in an extra-inning marathon in St. Louis. The 27-year-old infielder has been one of the best hitters in baseball during the second half, posting an .888 OPS with seven homers and 13 stolen bases in 43 games since the All-Star break
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Tommy Edman delivered a game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning on Tuesday, lifting the Cardinals to a 6-5 walk-off victory over the Padres. Edman came off the bench to deliver a walk-off single to left field off Padres closer Josh Hader in the bottom of the 10th inning. It may have been Willson Contreras that rallied the Cardinals to a late-inning comeback with a pair of homers, but it was Edman that delivered the knockout blow in extra innings.

Meanwhile, Mikolas has an 8.47 ERA and a 6.09 FIP over his last three starts, which span just 17 innings. St. Louis’ bullpen has also struggled as well, posting a collective ERA of 6.03 over its last 31 1/3 innings of work.
