AMEDEUS' MLB DIAMOND DINGER!
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. San Diego,
Money Line: 103.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Loss
The Phillies are coming into this game not playing great recently as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games and all of those games have been on the road where they have not been as good with just a 35-36 road record this season. They are going up against a Padres team that has been playing much better recently as they have won 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has been hot in those as they have scored at least 6 runs in 4 of their last 5 games. The Padres have not been good this season as they are under .500 but they have been better at home as they are 39-35 there. Zack Wheeler is starting for the Phillies here and he is 10-6 with a 3.62 ERA this season. He has been pitching well this year but he has struggled more in his road starts, allowing at least 3 earned runs in each of his last starts on the road. Michael Wacha is starting for the Padres here and he is 11-2 with a 2.85 ERA this season. He has been great and consistent all season which is also something he quietly did last year. He has also been a stud at home as he has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in his last 9 straight starts at home and he will shut down this Phillies offense as the hot Padres offense takes care of the rest. The Padres will win this game at home.
