San Diego Padres DFS Spin
San Diego left fielder Juan Soto was the star of the team’s 10-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday afternoon. In that game, Soto went 5 for 5 with four singles, a double, a run scored, and a team-high 4 RBIs. After a slow start to the season, Soto has begun to pick it up in the last month. In the last 30 days, Juan Soto is slashing .330/.478/.602 with 9 doubles, 5 homers, 14 RBIs, and 5 steals. Due to his recent hot hitting, Soto seems like a good bet to produce at Coors Field on Friday night.
Colorado Rockies DFS Spin
Colorado third baseman Ryan McMahon was one of only three Rockies players to drive in a run in his team’s 6-4 loss to the Giants on Thursday. In that game, McMahon hit third in the lineup and opened Colorado’s scoring with an RBI single to center off of San Francisco starter Alex Cobb. McMahon has been hitting well of late. The 6’2” 219-pound left-handed hitter is slashing .323/.396/.606 with 9 doubles, 2 triples, 5 homers, 21 RBIs, and 3 steals over the last 30 days. McMahon has been one of the Rockies’ best hitters this season and is worth a look in most DFS formats.

Padres vs. Rockies Betting Prediction
This pick is as much a pick against Colorado as it is a pick for San Diego. The Rockies have been abysmal all season. Colorado is 1-6 in their last 7 games following a loss and the Rockies are 15-37 in their last 52 games when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Colorado is also 0-4 in their last 4 games against a right-handed starter, and 1-8 in their last 9 Friday games. I like the Padres to take care of business in a high-scoring affair in Denver on Friday night.
