San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies MLB Prediction:
The Padres have been playing excellent baseball as of late. They are currently the hottest team in baseball.
The Phillies will need to start playing better if they want to gain ground in their division. I look for them to play well in this one. Even though San Diego is the better team, I am not confident they will get the win.
I look for Zack Wheeler to pitch well in this one. The Phillies should be able to hit around Paddack and get themselves a win.
I will take the -105 with the Phillies at home in this one.
