Chris Paddack Fantasy

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack was walloped for six earned runs over just 2 1/3 innings in a Game 1 wild-card series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Paddack unraveled immediately, serving up five knocks and four runs to start the game before being yanked after yielding eight total hits two frames later. Earning the start due to injuries to starters Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps), the 24-year-olds season-long struggles were on full display. With a thin rotation, Paddack will likely get another opportunity if the Padres survive the Cards in this series. If Wednesday was his final start of 2020, hell be a tough sell as an SP4 in fantasy drafts next season.

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack has been tabbed as the teams starter for Game 1 of the wild-card series versus St. Louis on Wednesday. With righties Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps) still working their respective ways back, the club has made the call to tab Paddack, who produced a 4.73 ERA across 12 regular-season starts. Despite the bumpy overall numbers, Paddack had a 3.44 ERA and 0.98 WHIP at Petco Park this year. Not having exceeded the 100-pitch mark during the regular season, its unclear how long Paddacks leash may be, but he has some DFS upside due to his strikeout potential.

The San Diego Padres have not yet announced a starter for Game 1 of Wednesdays wild-card series, but Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Tuesday that the team anticipates facing right-hander Chris Paddack. Both Mike Clevinger (biceps) and Dinelson Lamet (biceps) are attempting to work their way back to make starts in the three-game series, although both appear unlikely to be ready in time for Wednesday. If Paddack isnt ultimately tabbed, righty Zach Davies would be the next likeliest option. Paddack accrued a 4.73 ERA in 12 starts during the regular season, struggling with the home run ball, having yielded 14 in 59 IP.
