Phillies at Padres picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 5, Padres 4
Money line
The Phillies’ bats have gone quiet in the last 5 games. They have scored only 5 total runs in their 4 losses. They scored 6 in their 1 win. But they should get some runs on the board against Snell, who has struggled thus far this season.
Eflin did well in his 1 outing against the Padres.
The Phillies are 18-18 on the road, while the Padres are 21-14 at home, where they have won 8 of their last 10 games.
I’m going with the underdog tonight. PHILLIES (+110).

Run line/Against the spread
Expecting a Phillies outright win, you want to PASS on the run line. At -205, you have to wager more than twice what you can win, while you can win more than you wager with a money line bet on Philly.
The Phillies are 19-17 ATS on the road and San Diego is 13-22 ATS at home.
Over/Under
Four of the 5 games between the 2 teams have had fewer than 8 runs.
However, each of Eflin’s last 5 starts had totals of at least 8 runs.
Eight of the Padres’ last 11 games had at least 8 runs.
Take OVER 7.5 (-112).
