San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Josh Hader had his worst outing to date Sunday, giving up six runs while recording just one out against the Royals. Perhaps this one wasn’t quite as distressing as the three-walk blown save against the Giants on Aug. 9, but it was pretty bleak. Hader gave up five hits and walked two while facing a total of eight batters. Not all of the hits were hit hard, but his inability to miss bats when he needed to was extremely apparent. He’s obviously not going to get any save chances any time soon.
San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Evan Longoria is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday’s game due to tightness in his left hamstring. It sounds like the 36-year-old’s early exit was more of a precautionary measure than anything else. He may need an additional day off or two before returning to the Giants lineup, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll require another stint on the injured list.

Neither of these teams have ripped the cover off the ball recently but their pitching has been shoddy enough to feel good about the over, which is 19-9 in the last 28 meetings between these division rivals. The over is also 4-1 in the Giants’ last five games when facing a team with a winning record and is 3-1-1 in their last five home games when facing an opponent with a winning record.
