MLB - 957 Philadelphia Phillies @ 958 San Diego Padres
(Starting Pitchers: K. Kendrick vs J. Marquis)
The Phillies is starting Kyle Kendrick tonight, who limited the Nationals on his last outing to just one run and two hits on 7.2 innings. On the other side, the Padres will be starting Jason Marquis, who hasn't allowed more than three runs in 10 of his last 11 starts. On his last outing, he faced the Dodgers on a tough spot for them and allowed just two runs on six innings. Marquis's advanced numbers are much worse than his ERA and he has been struggling versus LH batters this season by allowing .347 wOBA, 6.17 FIP and 4.92 xFIP! The Phillies have a decent number of lefties on their lineup, so they should be able to put Marquis on a struggling position tonight.
Kyle Kendrick has been pitching well lately, if we exclude a disaster at Colorado, where he allowed seven runs on 4.1 innings. He had a great outing against Washington and I have no doubts that Kendrick is a better pitcher than Marquis, with a 3.79 FIP and 3.55 xFIP! Kendrick had 5 days of rest prior to tonight's game and he should be able to help Philadelphia in picking up a nice win as an underdog tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 957 Philadelphia Phillies ML (w/ K. Kendrick) @ +109 / 2.09 on Betonline
