Breaking down everything you need to know to bet on today's National League showdown between the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies.
The Philadelphia Phillies have stumbled a bit of late, going just 5-5 in their last 10 games, but they still hold the top spot in the National League and are 8.0 games clear of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.
They'll get their week started with a three-game home set against the San Diego Padres, who are desperately trying to get back into the mix. They currently sit one game under .500 at 37-38. In this article, I'm going to break down everything you need to know to bet on Monday's National League showdown.The Padres' starter has a sub-par ERA on the year of 4.93, but a 5.21 FIP and a 1.513 WHIP suggest further regression is coming for the righty. He needs to improve sooner rather than later or his metrics will start to fall even further. He has a tall order infront of him today in one of the most potent lineups in baseball.
I have no doubt they'll be able to take advantage of the Padres rolling with Vasquez, whose already bad numbers will likely get worse. His underlying metrics suggest further regression for him in his second year in the Majors and an offense like the Phillies has the ability to eat him up. Meanwhile, the Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez seems due for positive regression. His 3.07 ERA could be even better at this point of the season as his FIP sits at 2.58. He will be supported by the Phillies' bullpen today, which ranks third in the Majors in bullpen ERA over the last 30 days.Pick: Phillies -178Originally from Nova Scotia, Iain MacMillan is a senior editor covering betting, with a focus on NFL, NHL, and golf.
