San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Xander Bogaerts received a cortisone injection in his injured wrist on Sunday. The hope for the Padres is that he’ll rest and not do any swinging at all over the break, with the expectation that the injection will reduce the inflammation that he has been dealing with in his injured wrist. Bogaerts is expected to be ready for the start of the second half on Friday.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Phillies placed INF Josh Harrison on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 9, with a bruised right wrist. IL assignments can only be backdated three days, which is why the Phillies are making the move now rather than waiting until play resumes on Friday. They will make the countermove then, probably by calling up either Jake Cave or Kody Clemens.

Padres vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Padres had a rough first half and unless they can prove that it was a fluke despite having all that talent, I’m going to continue to fade them in the second half. San Diego is just 18-24 (-10.1 units) on the moneyline in road games this season and 26-31 (-14.0 units) in night games. Coming off a win, the Friars are just 19-23 (-10.8 units) this season.
