Trends

San Diego is 0-5 in Lugo’s last 5 road starts and 0-5 in Lugo’s last 5 road starts against a team with a winning record. The over is 7-0-1 in San Diego’s last 8 Games against a team with a winning record. Philadelphia is 6-0 in Wheeler’s last 6 starts and 5-0 in Wheeler’s last 5 Sunday starts. The over is 7-0-1 in Philadelphia’s last 8 Games.

Pick

The Padres and Phillies will get together to play Game 4 in this series after playing a doubleheader on Saturday, where the Phillies took both Games. San Diego is starting Seth Lugo, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four straight starts. Philadelphia is starting Zack Wheeler, who has allowed 3, 4, and 5 earned runs over his last three starts. San Diego has been very inconsistent this year, but I like them to get the series split here.
