The Phillies took the first game from the Braves clear and decisive win for a team that has solid pitching and who beat the defending champs. The Padres have won 3 in a row coming in but I think they have a let down here after beating their rival Dodgers.
The Phillies Wheeler pitches as the only pitcher who didn't win a game in the Braves series and that has to irk him so I expect them to come out strong.
He pitched well vs SD this year going 11 innings, 4 hits and 0 runs in his last two starts. Darvish gives up the longball and has given up 6 HR's in his last 4 games.
Take Philly to get a win here in game 1.
