Phillies at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 4, Giants 2
Money line
The PHILLIES (+102) have had a disappointing road trip, but getting swept is not something they’ve done since July 24 against the Chicago Cubs. Despite looking impressive the last 2 games, the Giants being favored to sweep a team with the potential firepower of Philadelphia is a steep price. The value is on the Phillies as an underdog to not get swept.
Run line/Against the spread
The PHILLIES +1.5 (-210) might look pricey, but still has value considering the Giants have only won by 2 or more runs in 2 of their last 10 games. Philadelphia has also proven lately that it is a hard team to sweep. In Philadelphia’s last series, it was blown out twice by Arizona before ending the 3-game set with an 18-2 win Wednesday.
Over/Under
UNDER 7.5 (-115) is worth a bet, especially for those who are uncomfortable betting on a Philadelphia team that hasn’t looked great on this road trip. Suarez’s numbers on the road are very similar to Rodon’s numbers at home. Both starting pitchers should help keep this game under the total.
