San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Juan Soto went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts on Wednesday in the Padres’ 5-3 win over the Cubs. Soto is hitting an uncharacteristic .178 across the Padres’ first 26 games of the season. Even with the three punchouts, he had two hard-hit balls that found Cubs gloves instead of grass. Fantasy managers should give the 24-year-old superstar time to work through his struggles as the Padres are still sticking with him hitting second every night.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Trey Mancini went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Wednesday in the Cubs’ loss to the Padres. The homer was his third of the year and second in the last seven days. The 31-year-old veteran is hitting .253/.296/.387 with 14 RBI across 83 plate appearances and his recent run could make him an interesting pickup in shallow fantasy leagues.
