Padres at Phillies picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 7, Padres 4
Moneyline
Take the PHILLIES (-140) for the win.
The Phillies do not want to travel back to San Diego. They will do everything they can to finish this series Sunday. The ML (-140) is the right side.
Run line/Against the spread
PHILADELPHIA -1.5 (+150) is the play.
It is going to be a dreary day in Philadelphia Sunday, but not at Citizen Bank Park. The Phillies are on an offensive roll now. They hit 4 HR Saturday night in the 10-6 win and they should be able to put up another 1 or 2 Sunday afternoon.
Over/Under
TAKE OVER 6.5 (-120).
Wheeler has an ERA of 2.82 this season, while Darvish has an ERA of 3.10. With almost 6 runs expected in this game and with the teams scoring a lot this series, I expect another Over to hit. Game 4 had an O/U of 7.5 and got to 16. This one easily gets to the 7 needed.
OVER 6.5 (-120) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.
