San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Ha-Seong Kim went 3-for-5 with two RBI in a 9-4 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday. The Padres have been looking for any sort of spark as the 2023 campaign continues to disappoint. Kim has been the leadoff hitter for a week and has performed well in the role. It remains to be seen how long the Padres will continue to bat him first, but if he keeps having nights like this, he might just stick.
Pittsburgh Pirates DFS SPIN
Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports the Rangers have reached out to the Pirates regarding the availability of Andrew McCutchen. Morosi adds that the Pirates are not prepared to move yet. However, it’s the type of potential deal that would make sense for both sides in a couple weeks as the Rangers have a significant hole at designated hitter, and McCutchen has put together a strong season so far in his return to Pittsburgh, posting an .825 OPS with nine homers and nine steals across 277 plate appearances through 66 games.

Padres vs. Pirates MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Padres have now dropped five out of their last six road games, are 0-5 in their last five games versus a right-handed starter and are 2-6 in their last eight games overall. Despite Snell pitching well, this San Diego team has is a dysfunctional mess. There are reports of infighting in the clubhouse and a team of individual contractors. Give me the Bucs.
