The San Francisco Giants (15-19) and Philadelphia Phillies (23-11) play the 3rd game of a 4-game series on Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is slated for 8:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Phillies lead 2-0
The Phillies chopped the Giants down to size with a 14-3 beatdown Saturday. They scored 9 runs in the 1st 2 innings and never looked back. They did it on 12 hits, and only 1 left the ballpark, and only another triple went for extra bases. DH/OF Kyle Schwarber may be coming out of his early season slumber with 2 hits in 3 ABs and a hit in 5 of the last 6 games.
This Giants have lost 4 of the last 5 games and have scored 3 or fewer runs in 9 straight games. They are 22nd in baseball with 3.7 runs per game and are just 6-12 on the road. OF Jorge Soler has gone cold with just 3 hits in his last 10 games. He’s hitting .202 with 5 HR and 8 RBI.

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 4, Phillies 3
Moneyline.
Before his last start, Webb was really dialed in with 3 ER in 29 IP in his previous 4 starts. He doesn’t have a lot of history against the Phils, but he struck out 10 over 8 IP in his last matchup with them 2 years ago. He’ll have to keep the bats quieter than his own, but take the GIANTS -115.
Run line/Against the spread
While we mentioned he fanned 10 in 8 IP against the Phils 2 years ago, we’re going against that grain here. Webb has not struck out more than 5 in any of his 7 starts.
Take LOGAN WEBB UNDER 5.5 K’S (-160).
Over/Under
Small number here, but it’ll have to stay Under for the anemic Giants offense to have a shot. The Giants are 2-7-1 O/U in their last 10. The Phils are 6-3-1. Webb keeps those horses at bay.
LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-105).
