The San Diego Padres are on the brink of doing what no one expected, knocking off their archrival, the Los Angeles Dodgers, to advance to the NLCS, but it’s in the cards. The Padres will send hometown boy, Joe Musgrove, to the hill and has he has been almost unhittable. Over his last 3 starts, Musgrove is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA (and that is not a typo) and a 0.78 WHIP. In Musgrove’s last turn against the very talented New York Mets, he was spectacular, throwing 7 scoreless innings, resulting in a 6-0 Padres win and advancing them to the NLDS. Los Angeles will counter with lefty Tyler Anderson. Over his last 3 starts, Anderson is 0-2 with a 2.12 ERA and a 0.76 WHIP. San Diego has the momentum. They are 12-4 in their last 16 in Game 4 of a series and will have over 42,000 fans supporting them. Consider the Friars.
