Why bet on the Baltimore Orioles?

The Phillies currently hold the third-best record in the NL East division. They won six of the last ten games and have a decent road record at 17-17. Despite sweeping the Nationals in a recent series, the team quickly took a turn after losing two consecutive games to the Rangers.

As a team, Philadelphia’s hitting numbers rank ninth in the league right now. They have 334 runs in 589 hits, including 88 home runs. The side also holds a .247 batting average and a .317 on-base percentage. Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s pitching staff logs a 3.93 average this season with a 1.27 WHIP.

Ranger Suarez gets another start for the Phillies. He holds a 5-4 record coming into the game with a 4.43 ERA and 54 strikeouts. In his career against the Padres, the 26-year-old recorded three strikeouts on a .262 batting average. He also has a .262 on-base percentage against Philadelphia this season.

Why bet on the Chicago White Sox?

San Diego is one of the forerunners of the NL West. Despite recording more wins than the LA Dodgers, they picked up two more losses along the way, putting them right behind the division leaders. In their most recent series against the Diamondbacks, the Padres closed the set with a six-run victory, 10-4.

The Padres’ hitting stats feature 337 runs in 593 hits. So far the team logs 62 home runs this season. They record a .245 batting average in 71 games while maintaining an on-base percentage of .322.

Phillies vs. Padres Betting Prediction

The Padres remain the favorites here. Starting pitcher Joe Musgrove is on a roll and has been since starting the season. The numbers he produced in his last three games are enough to keep the Phillies busy. However, it would be a shame to pay no attention to the Phillies. They had something good before losing to the Rangers. If the visitors can overcome the speed bump and find their groove once again, we expect a competitive clash between the two. In addition, Philadelphia’s Ranger Suarez is a solid starting pitcher with dependable performances under his belt.
