The Phillies look to rebound from an ugly weekend sweep (at the hands of the Dodgers) here in San Diego where they'll face a Padres team that has its own set of problems right now. The Padres are now playing sub-.500 ball at home this season after dropping both games over the weekend to Miami. They actually trailed 9-1 entering the ninth inning of yesterday's game. Each clubs will be sending one of its hotter starters to the mound for Monday's opener as Aaron Nola goes for Philly and Eric Lauer goes for SD. Nola is 6-0 in 2019, including 4-0 his last 5 starts. Over his last three starts, Lauer has a 3-0 team start record and a 1.50 ERA. But his season numbers aren't as strong as Nola's are. Also, Nola has a strong track record vs. the Padres while Lauer has never previously faced the Phillies. Nola has faced the Padres five times in his career and produced a 2.65 ERA and 0.912 WHIP. The two times he started here in San Diego both went well. The Phillies have also won the last eight times Nola has started against a team from the National League West. Play on PHILADELPHIA
