This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Padres/Phillies.

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm anticipating much more of a "duel" here finally on Tuesday night.

The Padres have seen the total go OVER in two straight after yesterday's 9-2 series-opening setback, while Philadelphia has now seen the total go OVER in six straight after yesterday's win broke a two-game slide.

But with two really good starting pitchers going head-to-head, I'm definitely expecting each to battle deep into the latter frames, with Michael King (5-4, 3.58 ERA) going for the visitors, and Aaron Nola (8-3, 3.48) countering for the home side.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
