Allen performed admirably as a newcomer despite having to fill in for Triston McKenzie, Aaron Civale, Cal Quantrill, and Zach Plesac, who completely collapsed.
In addition to facing a strong lineup from the Padres, Darvish, his opponent, is one of the most cunning veterans, which presents a difficulty for him in this situation.
In this game, Darvish had won his previous two starts, and the Padres had won four of their previous five games.
Expect the Padres to win this game to win the series and gain momentum going into the weekend. The San Diego Padres will win by a predicted score of 6-2.
