San Diego Padres: 3 bold predictions for NLCS vs. Phillies
The San Diego Padres shocked the Los Angeles Dodgers and are now set to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. San Francisco has a home field advantage.
Josh Hader will play a pivotal role for San Diego in the NLCS against the Phillies. He will probably record 3 saves. The series is expected to go 7 games.
Trent Grisham played well in the NLDS against the Dodgers. His defense will be a talking point for the Padres in NLCS against Philadelphia. Grisha will have to cover a lot of ground to keep up with the Phillies' powerful lineup.
Juan Soto hasn't been the superstar the Padres thought he was getting in the trade. He will start the NLCS slow and then hit one of the most important home runs of this series. He is talented enough to lead the San Diego Padres to the World Series. Sam DiGiovanni predicts he will be playing in Game 5.
