After the Philadelphia Phillies won Game 1 of the NLCS behind stellar pitching, the San Diego Padres struck back in Game 2 behind a big night at the plate. Will pitching dominate in tonight's Game 3 in Philadelphia, or will the bats lead the way to victory again?
As the series shifts to Citizens Bank Park for the next three games, the Padres are slight favorites after the teams split the first two games at Petco Park.

Tonight's game will be huge for the outcome of the series. If the Phillies take a 2-1 lead, then they would be in position to clinch at home with wins in Games 4 and 5. But if the Padres win, they will ensure that the series will, at the very least, return to San Diego for a Game 6 and remove the pressure that would come from being down 2-1 on the road.
