Result: Win
The Padres have been a monster disappointment this year. But they are coming off a three-game home sweep of the Giants.
Impressed? I'm not. The Giants are a struggling team and San Diego hasn't won four in a row all season.
I don't see it happening here in a pitching matchup of Taijuan Walker versus 43-year-old southpaw Rich Hill.
Walker is 14-5 with a 4.11 ERA. He has dominated the Padres in his career with a 4-3 mark, 2.51 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in eight career starts. The Padres are hitting just .178 against him.
Hill is 7-13 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 26 starts.
The Phillies are averaging 5.1 runs against lefties and rank sixth in slugging percentage against them.
