San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
In my view, this matchup favors the Philadelphia Phillies. Why? Philadelphia starting pitcher Aaron Nola pitched exceptionally well in his last outing, allowing just three hits and no walks in a Phillies win over the Padres. Conversely, San Diego hurler Randy Vasquez gave up 8 hits and 4 earned runs in his last start resulting in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies. With that said, the Phillies are the side to be on in this one. I am backing the Philadelphia Phillies on the moneyline in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Philadelphia Phillies ML
