San Diego at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies are a bit ahead of schedule as their young starting pitching and youthful roster is maturing quickly. The Phillies own a 54-42 record, and are a bona fide threat as a playoff team. Vince Velasquez' has his greatest memory in the big leagues, as his only start against San Diego worked a gem. Velasquez threw a complete game three-hit shutout, fanning 16 while walking none and allowing three hits. The Padres are in a full rebuild, and at 40-60 on the season, the playoffs are out of reach. San Diego will go with Luis Perdomo, who has just a single win and four losses to show for the season with an ERA of 7.75. The Phillies have all the paths to victory in this one, so back Philadelphia.
