This Tuesday, June 2, will feature the first game of the series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres, two teams set to face off, both desperate for a win. Despite this, the odds favor the Phillies slightly, a situation that makes sense following the shutout they handed the Padres a few days ago in San Diego.
However, while that result allowed the Phillies to maintain a strong winning streak, their 2-1 series loss to the Dodgers once again knocked them out of the Wild Card race. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that Don Mattingly has chosen Aaron Nola as the starting pitcher; although his record this season is negative, he delivered a quality performance in the recent series against the Padres.
Meanwhile, the Padres will also turn to one of the pitchers who took the mound a few days ago against the Phillies, clearly hoping that Randy Vásquez can redeem himself after losing that game by allowing 4 earned runs in just over 5 innings. Given this situation, the Padres will have to find a way to win at all costs, especially with the D’Backs breathing down their necks, just half a game behind.
