The NLCS continues with Game 3 on Friday as the San Diego Padres take on the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. After the Phillies took Game 1, the Padres fired back with an 8-5 victory in Game 2, led by a one-home run, three-RBI performance from Brandon Drury.

Padres vs Phillies Prediction & Pick
As the Phillies try to re-take the series lead, they're sending Ranger Suarez in as the starter. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old left has struggled lately, giving up eight walks, four home runs, nine earned runs and 17 hits over his last 12.1 innings pitched. The final is a 6.57 ERA over that stretch.
Meanwhile, the Phillies will have to overcome Padres starter Joe Musgrove. Usually, as consistent as they come, Musgrove has given up only three runs on 22 hits over his last six appearances (35.0 IP) and likely has what it takes to keep Philadelphia's stars off the scoresheet early on.
After putting up eight runs last game, I see the Padres taking advantage of Suarez' s recent struggles, taking Game 3 in the process.
Final Score Prediction:'Padres: 6 | Phillies: 3
Padres vs Phillies Probable Starting Pitchers
The San Diego Padres will look to Joe Musgrove (10-7, 2.93 ERA) in Game 3 and the Philadelphia Phillies hand the ball to Ranger Suarez (10-7, 3.65 ERA).
