Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Trea Turner went 2-for-6 and clobbered his 22nd home run of the season on Monday, helping to lead the Phillies to a 9-7 victory over the Padres in San Diego. The hot-hitting shortstop singled off of Rich Hill in the opening inning, then came around to score on Alec Bohm’s three-run double. He then tagged Hill for a 403-foot two-run blast in the second inning that extended the Phillies’ advantage to 6-1. It was Turner’s seventh home run in his last eight games — and 10th in his last 15 dating back to August 19. Overall, his season is starting to look like much less of a disappointment as he’s now hitting .262/.311/.450 with 22 homers, 67 RBI, 86 runs scored and 25 stolen bases (in 25 attempts) through his first 135 games.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Fernando Tatis Jr. filled up the box score in a losing effort against the Phillies on Monday night, as he clubbed a solo home run, drew a walk and swiped a pair of bases. The 24-year-old superstar got the Padres on the board in the first inning with a mammoth 432-foot blast off of Phillies’ right-hander Taijuan Walker. He then drew a one-out walk in the eighth inning and swiped second and third base — but the Padres were ultimately unable to cash him in. Tatis Jr. finished the night 1-for-4 officially and is now hitting .264/.327/.462 with 22 homers, 70 RBI and 25 stolen bases in 119 games on the season.

Phillies vs. Padres MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m taking the over again tonight in San Diego. Both pens have been decent, but the starting pitching matchup leaves a lot to be desired. Over his last four starts, Lorenzen owns a 4.88 ERA and a 5.97 FIP and while he’s only made two starts that span 7 1/3 innings, Avila is 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA.
