3* #905 MLB Saturday 3* Philadelphia Phillies +103 @ San Diego Padres @ 8:40 ET - This one is all about the line value as certainly I respect Cease and he is off to a great start this season but so too is Suarez. That said, what about the lineups and current trending here? The Phillies rolled to a 9-3 win yesterday and their sluggers were crushing the ball. This Philly team has had many bigger performances at the plate of late and if some of their guys that had been a bit quiet early this season are starting to get it going...look out! The Phillies hit 5 home runs yesterday and have now won 9 of 11 games and have scored an average of 7 runs in their last 8 wins! As for the Padres, even playing at Colorado did not help their slumbering bats too much. In a 4-game series they had one 10-9 loss. However, in their other 8 games that are part of their current 3-6 slide, they have scored an average of only 3 runs per game! In 7 of their last 10 home games the Padres have scored 3 or less runs! Even against Cease, don't be surprised if the Phillies prove to be the much stronger team at the plate again today. Note that the Phillies road batting average is more than 20 points higher than the Padres home batting average this season. Suarez has not allowed any runs in the 22 innings spanning his last 3 starts! 3* PHILADELPHIA +103
