Padres battled back from an early deficit but couldn’t complete the comeback, underscoring their resilience and potent offense at home. Pivetta’s ongoing strikeout upside paired with a bullpen that can close games makes SD a strong choice for betting and DFS stacks when facing Teng.

Pivetta has been among the league’s most consistent arms, entering with a 28% K rate and a WHIP of 0.95 across 141.1 innings. He’s held opponents to two runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts, presenting a high-floor, high-upside option for fantasy managers and bettors.

Cortes was tagged early by SF’s power, giving up three homers in the first inning and triggering a tough start for the Padres. It’s a reminder of Cortes’s volatility and the importance of favorable matchups when deploying him in daily formats.

Padres stacks target a righty-lefty balance with Tatis and Machado in the heart of the order, supported by Laureano and other depth. Teng’s limited major-league experience creates a price-sensitive but potentially fruitful stack in this slate.

Tatis anchors Padres’ stacks with top-tier upside, especially in a favorable matchup against opposing hurlers; his power and speed contribute to high ceiling lineups, particularly in tournament contexts.
