Philadelphia Phillies vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Phillies have cooled off over the last week, and it feels like the Padres are due for a bounce-back effort. We know what Nola is capable of when he’s right, but he has a 6.04 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 50.2 innings. Nola has a 6.10 ERA and a .283 allowed batting average in 31 road innings. Vasquez looks like an all-star with a 2.96 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. We’re getting a near pick ’em price. Give me the Padres at home with the pitcher in far better form.
