Betting on the San Diego Padres (-130)
The Padres have been winning in bunches of late. They have collected five wins in their last six games before the MLB All-Star break, a stretch that included their 2-1 series win against the New York Mets during which they came out on top by a combined score of 14-10. Getting the start this Friday for the Padres is Yu Darvish, who is looking to score his first win since June. In his most recent appearance on the mound, Darvish allowed three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts in 5.0 innings of a 7-5 loss to the Mets on July 7. On the season, San Diego is 3-3 with a 6.16 ERA in seven starts on the road.
The Padres are batting just 23rd this season with a .235 batting average this season but are 14th with a .324 on-base percentage.
Starting pitcher: Yu Darvish (5-6, 4.87 ERA)
Betting on the Philadelphia Phillies (+110)
Christopher Sanchez is winless through five starts in the 2023 MLB season so far, but he looked great in his most recent one. The 26-year-old lefty tossed four innings of one-run ball with only four hits allowed in a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on the road on July 6. Sanchez has surrendered just five earned runs across 21.0 innings in his last four starts.
Backing Sanchez up is the Phillies’ offense that features Trea Turner, who is 7-for-20 with two home runs and four RBIs in his career against Darvish. The Phillies also have Kyle Schwarber, who is 4-for-12 with two homers and a double versus the Padres starter. As a team, the Padres are eighth in the MLB with a .258 batting average and 10th with a .421 slugging percentage.
Starting pitcher: Christopher Sanchez (0-2, 2.84 ERA)
El Jefe’s Prediction on San Diego Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies
The Padres have a sub-.500 record in road games this season. Darvish is also just 3-3 with a 6.16 ERA in games he started this year away from Petco Park. The Phillies, who are 22-16 will win this contest.
Prediction:
The Phillies win, 4-2.
