MLB Picks: Philadelphia Phillies Try to Take Big Lead vs. San Diego Padres
To help with your MLB betting, we take a look at today's playoff game.
Philadelphia Phillies at San Diego Padres
Game 2, 4:35 p.m. ET, FOX
Petco Park, San Diego
The Phillies won Game 1 of the NLCS the same way they have been winning many games this season with Kyle Schwarber’s and Bryce Harper’s bat, and the arm of Zack Wheeler.
The Phillies turn to Aaron Nola for Game 2 and he has not allowed an earned run in the playoffs. The Padres might be in deep trouble.

- The Over is 21-12-1 (64%) in Game-2 of a playoff series if the road team won Game-1 and the line is between a –125 favorite and a +125 underdog.
- The Phillies are 6-2 at Petco Park with the average score being 4-3
- The Phillies skipper Rob Thomson is 40-12 making 24 units on moneyline when facing an opponent that averages 2.75 or fewer extra-base hits per game.

I am betting on the Phillies using the moneyline priced at +102 at FandDuel.
