Yu Darvish leads the Padres on the mound as their ace pitcher, sporting an earned run average of 4.87 and boasting a win/loss record of 5-6 despite an earned run average of 4.87. With an excellent WHIP of 1.27, Darvish can keep runners off bases, which is crucial in avoiding big innings. His strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.18), combined with his 89 strikeouts in 85 innings pitched, shows off his control and command on the mound; even though he has allowed 46 earned runs this season, Darvish could keep opponents score by dominating their lineup while keeping opponents within reach.

Their ability to consistently put the ball into play and make solid contact is essential to their offensive success, scoring 401 runs.

Cristopher Sanchez will take the mound for the Phillies starting pitchers this time. While his sample size has only been five starts, Sanchez has shown promising signs. With an ERA of 2.84 and WHIP of 1.03, he has effectively kept opposing hitters under control while limiting baserunners and extra-base hits from creating scoring opportunities for San Diego Padres. With 22 strikeouts in 25.1 innings pitched and only four walks, Sanchez has demonstrated his ability to generate swings and misses, while his command has also been impressive.
