T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres.

I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Padres have looked really good in their games lately but they haven't looked great in this series. They have only won 1/3 of the 3 games against the Phillies here and even their win was a very slim 1-0 win in the 2nd game of this series. The Padres have looked really good all year though and I expect them to win this game on the verge of losing a series here. The Phillies weren't looking too good coming into this series since they had lost 3 games in a row and I think they will lose this road game too. Kyle Gibson (4-3, 4.06 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he just had a start where he gave up 3 runs but that has been a common theme for him lately since he has been giving up a lot of runs in his previous 4 starts. He has also been pitching deep into these games too and I think that fatigue is going to catch up with him here since he hasn't been pitching great in those games either. Yu Darvish (7-3, 3.17 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been a bit up and down this year but overall, he has looked really good in his starts and doesn't give up a ton of runs in many games. He hasn't even given up 2+ runs in his 3 most recent starts and he has had a lot of those starts this year where he has been really good like that. I expect him to have another good start like that here in their own ballpark and I see the Padres winning this game because of him and splitting the series here. I like the Padres to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Padres.
