Philadelphia Phillies vs San Diego Padres prediction

The Phillies and Padres are both capable of lighting the scoreboard on fire, but I’m still leaning toward the under in this Game. Ranger Suarez should be in CY Young conversations and has allowed 2 earned runs in his last 28 innings. Dylan Cease has an ERA under 2 on the season and seems to be getting better by the Game. This has a chance to be a pitching battle where runs are hard to come by. Give me the under between the Phillies and Padres.
