Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ San Diego Padres (Darvish)
SD (-118)– The Padres and Phillies meet in San Diego tonight for game 1 of the NLCS. It should be a good matchup between starting pitchers Zack Wheeler and Yu Darvish, the over/under is set at 6.5. It should be a low scoring game early but I’m leaning toward the Padres at home tonight to chip away a lead in the middle/later innings of the game. Over the last 30 days the Padres offense has an edge over the Phillies with 111 wRC+ vs. 93 wRC+ and their bullpen has also performed better in the the playoffs so far. The Padres bullpen has a 2.19 ERA while the Phillies have a team bullpen ERA of 4.15. Tonight I’m going with the Padres ML at -118.
