The Phillies are just 1-4 in recent games. They kept the score down in their win on Sunday but allowed at least seven runs in the previous four games. Taijuan Walker starts on Monday, and while he has been steady this year, he still gives up 3 runs on average while pitching around five innings lately. His ERA is more than 1.5 runs higher on the road, but he has had great run support this season. Padres' starter, lefty Rich Hill's starts have been very short lately. He gave up nearly a run an inning in August, not a good look against a Phillies team that is tops in bops over the last two weeks. Both offenses are strong; the Phillies are .288/.960 OPS and very good against left handed pitching, while the Padres have climbed to .258/.754 lately. The Phillies swept the Padres in earlier meetings and all games easily went over. I expect the same result today. Both starters appear tired at this stage of the season, Hill especially at the ripe old age of 43. Take the Phillies and Padres to again go over the the total today.
