San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Prediction: Phillies -1.5 +126 odds (May 12th 2012)

The Phillies have scored 53 runs in their L10 games, including a 7-3 spanking over the Padres yesterday. San Diego got fanned 14 times in that contest and now must face the two-time Cy young winner, Roy Halladay. Halladay is 3-2 on the season, including an 0-1 mark vs. SD, but the ace pitched well in that game, only yielding 2 runs on five hits in seven innings. I expect the RH to come out today with a vengeance and thump the 29th ranked , 3.18 RPG averaging Padre lineup. San Diego has no offense. They rank 29th or worse in a slew of categories and boast the NL’s worst record at 11-22 (including a 2-8 away mark). They send Edinson Volquez to the bump. The RH is 1-2 this season and has a 2-2 lifetime record vs. Philly in his career. The Padres are 16-40 their L56 overall vs. the Phillies and 0-4 their L4 games vs. the NL East. The Phillies are 8-1 in Hallday’s starts vs. teams with a losing record and 48-21 their L69 vs. the NL West. Take Philadelphia on the RUN LINE. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico
