Padres vs. Phillies Best MLB Prop Bet
- Cristopher Sanchez OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (+118) via Caesars
In today's edition of Betting $100 Every Day for a Year, I broke down why I'm betting on Cristopher Sanchez to go OVER 7.5 strikeouts at +118:
The San Diego Padres have developed a serious strikeout problem. Over the past 30 days, the Padres have a strikeout rate of 25%, which is 0.6% higher than any other team in the same stretch of games. Now, they have to face one of the NL Cy Young favorites in Cristopher Sanchez, who has been striking out 10.8 batters per nine innings pitched this season.
Padres vs. Phillies Prediction and Pick
The Padres and the Phillies have gone cold offensively of late. Over the past 30 days, the Phillies are 24th in the Majors in wRC+, while the Padres are dead last. Not only do we have two offenses that are running cold, but Sanchez and his 1.47 ERA are set to get the start for the Phillies.
Walker Buehler and his 4.88 ERA don't make you think the Phillies will be kept scoreless, but if Buehler can survive his start, the Padres will eventually turn to their elite bullpen. The Padres rank third in the Majors in bullpen ERA at 3.07.
Give me the UNDER in this National League showdown.
Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-105) via Caesars
