The San Diego Padres and the Philadelphia Phillies will meet again to play the Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at the Petco Park on Wednesday.

BETTING TRENDS
Philadelphia are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games.
Philadelphia are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against San Diego.
Philadelphia are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Philadelphia are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against San Diego.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of San Diego's last 11 games.
San Diego are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 12 of San Diego's last 16 games against Philadelphia.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of San Diego's last 6 games at home
Prediction
The Padres couldn't do much against a great performance from Wheeler and the Phillies bullpen who held them to zero runs in Game 1 and they'll now have to face Aaron Nola who has been insane lately allowing only 1 run in his last 19.1 innings pitched. Blake Snell will take the mound for the Padres who has been pretty good lately but has struggled against the Phillies in his career. With the Phillies offense on fire and Nola on the mound I think we get great value again with them as underdogs. Take the Phillies.
