San Diego Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’m on the under here. Suarez has been one of the best pitchers in the National League this season and the Padres continue to have issues offensively overall, especially against left-handed pitching this season. On the other side, the Phillies have cooled off against righties in recent weeks and aren’t necessarily the same team offensively that they were in the midst of their scorching hot run earlier this season. All in all, I think we have a low-scoring game on the horizon, so give me the under here.
