Philadelphia Phillies have clearly hit the ball on the run, winning their last five games.

This evenly distributed assault makes this team the principal reason for their dominance nowadays. Their performance with .318 on base percentage and .395 is an example of an effective offensive unit which can score freely.

Aaron Nola (3-1 W-L, 3.16 ERA) vs. Joe Musgrove (3-2 W-L, 5.74 ERA)

Aaron Nola, the starter for the Phillies, has been impressive, showing his low ERA 3.16 and WHIP 1.09 in the 31.1 innings pitched over the course of this season. His numbers in avoiding BB (10) and HR (6) were remarkable, and he also struck out 26 batters which means, Philadelphia has a reliable startling pitcher in almost every game that he plays. Nola’s ability to focus and be disciplined would tremendously affect the game’s decision because this is what is needed to succeed.

On the other hand, creating Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove has faced a little trouble, as revealed by his 5.74 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. Musgrove is slightly ahead of Nola in the number of innings allowed but has surrendered ten more hits (37) and five additional home runs, which could be a problem against the hard hitting Phillies batters. He needs to pick up his performance pace to make sure that the Padres have good chances of winning, more so, in games that can be decided by tiny margins.
