Phillies vs Padres Betting Pick
This game will be played at Petco Park at 4:10 PM ET on Sunday, June 26, 2022.
Why Bet The Padres:
✅ Yu Darvish (7-3; 3.17 ERA; 0.96 WHIP) will take the mound for the Padres and shoot for his fourth consecutive win. The 35-year-old right-hander has been outstanding in his previous three starts, allowing only a couple of earned runs on 11 hits and two walks across 22 innings of work. Yu’s cutter has a minus-7 run value, while his slider and sinker have a minus-3 run value each.
✅ Kyle Gibson (4-3; 4.06 ERA; 1.21 WHIP) will get the starting call for the Phillies, and the current Padres own a .286 batting average in 135 at-bats against him. Eric Hosmer has 13 hits, ten RBIs, and a .802 OPS across 46 at-bats versus the 34-year-old righty. Gibson hasn’t impressed in his previous four starts, tallying a 4.56 ERA, 4.51 FIP, and 17/12 K/BB ratio through 23.2 innings of work.

✅ The Padres’ bullpen has done an excellent job in the last ten days and 36.2 frames of work, going 4-1 with four saves and tallying a 2.21 ERA and .216 BABIP. Nabil Crismatt hasn’t allowed a single run across 11.2 innings in June, while Taylor Rogers has converted five straight save opportunities.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies handed Joe Musgrove his first loss of the season in a 6-2 victory over the Padres at Petco Park this past Thursday. But on the very next day, they had a paltry five hits against rookie MacKenzie Gore and three relievers, including Crismatt and Rogers. It was their fourth defeat in five games, and the Phillies fell to 37-35 on the season. Philadelphia owns the ninth-highest OPS in the majors (.727), but in their previous 14 outings, the Phillies have slashed a poor .226/.308/.351.
San Diego Padres
The Padres blanked the Phillies on Friday to grab their fourth win in five games with Manny Machado on the sidelines. Machado could be able to return before the weekend is through and boost the Padres’ lineup, which has slashed .249/.329/.408 with seven home runs and nine doubles across 201 at-bats in the last seven days. The 45-28 Padres were sitting at the second spot in the NL West on Saturday, one game behind the LA Dodgers.
