Preview

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. The Phillies took the win 2-0 in the first game of the series. Harper hit his fourth homer this postseason and Schwarber hit a jaw-dropping, 488-foot drive.

He is 2-4 with an ERA of 3.11 and 61 strikeouts in 8 appearances against the Padres in his career.

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.

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.

PICK: Phillies ML (+105)
