Analysis
*3 Star Play on Padres -1.5* The San Diego Padres are 9-1 in their last 10 games. Nick Pivetta is on the mound for the Padres here. Pivetta has a 3.60 ERA and a 1.60 FIP on the season. He has thrown 13 scoreless innings in a row at home. He doesn't pitch too deep into games now, but the Padres bullpen is elite. Tyler Phillips has a 2.49 ERA at home this year, but the Marlins pitcher has a 5.21 ERA at home. Phillips is walking nearly 5 batters per nine innings in his last four starts. He is having major control issues. The Padres offense is red hot right now, and they can make him pay for putting free runners on base. The Padres are in the third Wild Card spot, while the Marlins have no realistic chance of catching up and making the playoffs. San Diego should be highly motivated here and they have all the momentum coming into this one. Take San Diego -1.5.
