Philadelphia Phillies
5 Innings Total Pick
Under 4.0(-120)

Yu Darvish is slated to make his second start of the season on Saturday night as the Padres host the Phillies. Darvish allowed 2 earned runs on 3 hits over 3.2 innings in his first start of the season on July 7 against the Diamondbacks. He walked 3, but now that he has a start under his belt on the season, he could be in line for a better performance in this one. The Phillies’ offense hasn’t been as strong on the road as they’ve been at home, as their team OPS drops from .783 at home to .691 on the road. They will also be playing their fifth game of a six-game west coast road trip.

On the other side, Zack Wheeler has been among the best pitchers in baseball so far this season. He owns a 2.17 ERA through 18 starts and 116 innings, and posted an ERA of 0.58 across 5 June starts. He started July by tossing a complete game one-hitter against the Reds last week. Needless to say, Wheeler is in a groove on the mound right now. This has the makings of a decent pitchers duel, which makes the first 5 under the play.

Phillies vs Padres prediction: First 5 Under 4 (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
