The Padres have scored fewer runs in the last three games than in Game 2. San Diego left too many runners on base. Brandon Drury and Manny Machado need to hit the baseball. The pitching staff cannot make mistakes with the big hitters in Phillies lineup. The Padres will cover the spread if they can drive home the runners.

The Phillies have the home field and the better pitcher. They are expected to win the game to take a commanding 3-1 lead.
