San Diego Padres (82-66) vs St. Louis Cardinals (87-62)

The Padres are playing really well in this series and have yet to surrender a run in the first two games. I don't trust Jack Flaherty on the mound right now as xERA, FIP, and xFIP are all much higher than his current ERA. His current ERA is 5.09, so that is really concerning. The Padres have the better bullpen in my opinion and I also think Joe Musgrove's strong bounce-back start against the Dbacks is really promising for him in the future. Musgrove was struggling in August but to have that outstanding showing vs. a tough Dbacks lineup vs. RHP shows that Musgrove may be back to the form we saw him in at the beginning of the season. Give me San Diego ML here.
