BET PHILLIES -1.5 (+100).

San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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 projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Taijuan Walker

Webb (3-2, 2.98 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 42 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 3 BB, 4 K Tuesday against Boston Red Sox
  • 2 career starts vs. Phillies: 0-0, 5.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 14 K in 12 IP

Walker (1-0, 8.53 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He allowed 6 ER on 8 H and 2 BB with 4 K in 6 1/3 IP against the San Diego Padres April 28.

  • Started season on IL with shoulder impingement
  • Last 5 regular season starts vs. Giants: 1-2, 5.09 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 18 K in 23 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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).

San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (15-18) and Philadelphia Phillies (22-11) play the 2nd game of a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is slated for 6:05 p.m. ET. 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 1-0

The Phillies won their series opener with the Giants 4-3 Friday night. LF Brandon Marsh‘s 2-RBI single in the bottom of the 3rd gave Philadelphia the lead, and it never looked back. Starter Aaron Nola struggled with control, issuing 4 walks over his 4 innings of work. That tied his season high for free passes in a game. The Phillies have won 7 of their last 8 games.

This was easily the worst start of the season for Giants RHP Jordan Hicks, allowing 4 runs (2 ER) over 4 innings in Philadelphia Friday night. The only offense for San Francisco came from 2B Thairo Estrada‘s 2-RBI double in the top of the 2nd inning. The Giants are now 1-3 to begin their 10-game road trip.

Giants at Phillies projected starters

RHP Keaton Winn vs. LHP Ranger Suarez

Winn (3-3, 3.18 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.97 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 34 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 1 ER (5 R), 4 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 8-1 defeat at Cincinnati Reds Tuesday
  • 2024 road stats: 1-2, 3.38 ERA (16 IP, 6 ER), 1.13 WHIP in 3 starts
  • Never faced Phillies before

Suarez (5-0, 1.32 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 0.63 WHIP, 1.1 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 41 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 8 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 5-1 victory at San Diego Padres Saturday
  • 2024 home stats: 2-0, 1.35 ERA (20 IP, 3 ER), 0.80 WHIP in 3 starts
  • Career vs Giants: 1-0, 3.38 ERA (16 IP, 6 ER) in 2 starts and 4 relief appearances

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Giants 1

Moneyline.

PASS.

I love the Phillies (-190) to win this game, but I’d rather take the plus odds on the run line than put down nearly 2 units.

Run line/Against the spread

BET PHILLIES -1.5 (+110).

San Francisco has not been getting it done away from the Bay, sitting with a 6-10 road record and sub-.300 OBP. It has also struggled against southpaws, sporting a record of 3-5 on the season. That fact is compounded knowing that it faces one of the best lefties in MLB thus far in Saurez. The dude has allowed just 3 earned runs all season at Citizens Bank Park.

Philadelphia owns a 14-5 record against right-handers this season and hasn’t lost in May yet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-115).

I fully expect this game to be a pitching duel. Suarez has not allowed more than 1 run in his last 4 starts, while Winn has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 4.

The Phillies’ bats have been quiet recently, going Under in 2 straight, but San Francisco’s offense has been in the freezer for well over a week now, going Under in 6 of its last 7.

Season series: First meeting; Giants won 4-2 last season

Giants at Phillies projected starters

RHP Jordan Hicks vs. RHP Aaron Nola

Hicks (2-0, 1.59 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 0.91 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 34 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K in a 4-3 loss vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Phillies 3

Moneyline

BET PHILLIES (-155).

Philadelphia has won back-to-back games and is 7-3 in its last 10 outings while the Giants are 1-2 in their last 3 games and 5-5 in the last 10. The Phillies have also won 2 of their last 3 meetings with the Giants, but be aware the Giants are 7-3 in their last 10 matchups vs. Philadelphia.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Neither team has been good ATS this season, as the Giants are 14-18 and the Phillies are only 16-16. Therefore, neither team is worth the risk of backing here, so bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8 (-115).

The Under has hit in 6 consecutive games for the Giants and is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. For Philadelphia the Under hit in its last game and is 17-14-1 on the season.

This is a very slight lean as the Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings between these squads and is 3-1 in Philly’s last 4 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (65-61) and Philadelphia Phillies (69-57) meet Wednesday for the finale of a 3-game series. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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: Giants lead 3-2

Philadelphia won 4-3 as a -135 home favorite Tuesday. San Francisco led 3-2 heading into the bottom of the 9th when SS Trea Turner hit a walk-off 2-run RBI single with the bases loaded.

The Phillies have now won back-to-back games, sitting at 5-5 in their last 10 and 36-24 at home. San Francisco has now lost back-to-back games and is 3-7 in its last 10. The Giants are 30-33 on the road this season.

Giants at Phillies projected starters

RHP Alex Cobb vs. RHP Michael Lorenzen 

Cobb (6-5, 3.75 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 127 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 3 K in a 4-0 road loss Friday vs. Atlanta Braves

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 2, Giants 1

Moneyline

LEAN PHILLIES (-135).

The Phillies are hotter than the Giants and hold the pitching advantage. The Phillies have been very good at home this year and are 4-1 in Lorenzen’s last 5 starts.

This is only a lean because the Giants are 7-3 in the last 10 vs. Philly and will be fighting to avoid being swept in this series.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Giants to put up a fight here to avoid being swept, but at +1.5 (-190) the line is far too risky. Bet on the moneyline and/or O/U instead.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 9 (-120).

The Under is 6-4 in San Francisco’s last 10 and 2-1 in Philadelphia’s last 3. The Under is also 3-2 in Cobb’s last 5 starts and 4-1 in Lorenzen’s last 5 starts. This is only a lean because the Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 Giants-Phillies matchups.

San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (65-60) and the Philadelphia Phillies (68-57) meet Tuesday for the 2nd game of a 3-game series. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. 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: Giants lead 3-1 after losing 10-4 in Monday’s series opener

The Giants have really been scuffling lately, dropping 9 of their last 12 games. San Francisco still holds the final NL Wild Card spot despite its recent struggles.

The Phillies hold the top NL Wild Card spot. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, scoring 7 or more runs 9 times in their last 15 games.

Giants at Phillies projected starters

LHP Kyle Harrison vs. RHP Taijuan Walker

Harrison will be making his big-league debut. He is 1-3 with a 4.66 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 6.6 BB/9 and 14.4 K/9 through 65 2/3 IP across 20 starts for AAA-Sacramento.

  • Has made it through 5 frames just once and has gotten through the 4th innings just 5 times in 20 starts
  • His swing-and-miss stuff looks legit, but he has really struggled with his control. He has been better in that regard lately, with no walks in 3 of his last 4 outings, though he issued 4 free passes in 2 innings in the other start during that timeframe.

Walker (13-5, 4.03 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.28 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 through 131 2/3 IP.

  • Was skipped during the last turn through the rotation after his recent skills took a nosedive. Though his 4.07 ERA in his last 4 starts is respectable, he has as many walks as strikeouts (12) during that time.
  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER, 3 H, 6 BB, 2 K in 13-5 loss to Minnesota Twins on Aug. 12
  • 2023 home stats: 6-2, 3.11 ERA (66 2/3 IP, 23 ER) with 4.2 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 in 12 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 3-3, 4.50 ERA (42 IP, 21 ER) with 6.9 K/9 in 8 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 7, Giants 5

Moneyline

Harrison has into trouble this season with walks and that trend will likely continue at the major league level. He can’t be expected to work deep into the game today so the Giants will have to rely heavily on their bullpen. Relievers Jakob Junis and Sean Manaea are likely unavailable after working the last 2 days and Alex Wood (19 pitches Sunday) could be off the table as well.

The Phillie bats have been on a roll and could deliver another big game in this spot. Back the PHILLIES (-140).

Run line/Against the spread

Walker hasn’t looked like himself lately, which prompted the team to give him a little extra rest following his most recent outing. Until he shows that he’s back on track, it’s tough to be confident in his performance. Therefore, expect the Giants to keep this fairly close and AVOID this line.

Over/Under

Both offenses look to be in pretty good spots in this one. They’re playing in a hitter-friendly environment with one pitcher having control issues and making his debut, and the other coming off a string of shaky starts. There should be plenty of offensive fireworks so hammer OVER 9 (-110).

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 7, Giants 6

Moneyline

PASS. 

This is a bad moneyline to risk money on for either team. The Giants have dominated the Phillies as of late, but the Phillies have been stellar at home. The run line and Over/Under plays are both safer bets and better value.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS +1.5 (-145). 

The Giants have won the last 6-straight games vs. Philadelphia and are 9-1 against them in the last 10 meetings. I like the Phillies to win here, but you should feel comfortable betting on the Giants to cover even if they lose, as they carry so much momentum vs. Philadelphia headed into this matchup.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 matchups and 3-1 in Philadelphia’s last 4 games overall. The Over is also 4-1 in Nola’s last 5 starts overall and 2-1 in his last 3 starts vs. the Phillies.

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Giants 2

Money line

LEAN PHILLIES (-125) because Rodon struggled in May while Nola has been dialed in lately and because the Giants (+102) clinched a series victory in Philly by winning 2 coin-flip games so the Phillies are due for one before the Giants leave town.

Nola dominated the Braves in Atlanta in his last start while Rodon got beat by a last-place Cincinnati Reds team. Also, Rodon cools down in the summer months, ironically. Rodon is 11-5 for his career in March and April with a 3.05 ERA but 14-26 with a plus-4.00 ERA from May-July.

However, I cannot get past a LEAN to the PHILLIES (-125) since they are 2-8 in Nola’s 10 starts, Philly’s lineup has been a bottom-5 unit in baseball over the last 2 weeks and Philly’s bullpen is worse than San Francisco’s.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

I “lean” to the Phillies -1.5 (+170) because this is a juicy payout and Philly’s lineup could rake Rodon if he’s not in form. But, the Phillies are just 8-14 RL as home favorites and their bullpen is unreliable.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-105) only because we are getting to the party late on the total. Giants-Phillies opened with an 8.5-run total before Under money flooded the betting market, according to Pregame.com.

Fading the market isn’t an option since there are 2 top-of-the-rotation starters on the mound Wednesday and each team’s location-based trends skew towards the Under. Also, Citizens Bank Park has the lowest park factor in the MLB, aka is the MOST pitcher-friendly venue.

The Philadelphia Phillies (21-28) host the San Francisco Giants (26-21) Tuesday for the 2nd game of their 3-game series at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is set for 6:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Phillies 4

Money line

BET the GIANTS (+110) because they have a clear edge in the starting pitching matchup and are a lot more productive vs. left-handed pitching than the Phillies are against righties.

Most of Suarez’s advanced pitching metrics have declined from last year and 4 of his 5 pitches have a plus-run value (RV), according to Statcast. Whereas 3 of Junis’ 5 pitches have a minus-RV and Junis’ current swing-and-miss and contact rates are better than his career averages.

San Francisco’s lineup ranks 5th in both wRC+ (117) and wOBA (.332), 9th in BB/K rate (0.44) and 13th in hard-hit rate (29.8%) against left-handed pitching, per FanGraphs.

Philly’s lineup has a 94 wRC+ (ranked 20th), .306 wOBA (17th), 0.32 BB/K rate (24th) and a 28.3% hard-hit rate (20th) vs. right-handed pitching and 13-22 overall against righty starters.

Philadelphia’s bats have been ice-cold recently too, ranking dead-last in both wRC+ (75) and WAR (-0.1) and second-to-last in wOBA (.276) over the last two weeks.

According to Pregame.com there’s also a line freeze in the betting market as roughly 85% of the cash is on the Phillies but the number hasn’t budged off the opener. This suggests the oddsmakers are comfy with their price and want more pro-Phillies action.

BET 1 unit on the GIANTS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Giants +1.5 (-180) is way too expensive for insurance on our San Francisco ML wager considering the Giants are 3-4 RL as road underdogs. San Francisco’s bullpen is too suspect to take a stab at the alternate RL.

Over/Under

PASS with a “lean” to the Over 9.5 (-112) since I prefer San Francisco’s ML and we are getting late to the party on this number. The total opened up at 9 but has been steamed up to the current price.

However, the weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the low-90s in Philly Tuesday night and hotter temperatures tend to favor hitting.

Also, Philly is 6-2 O/U in Suarez’s 8 starts, San Francisco 4-0 O/U in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter and the Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 Phillies-Giants meetings.

San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (25-21) start a 3-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies (21-27) Monday. First pitch in the Memorial Day game at Citizens Bank Park is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

San Francisco won last year’s season series 4-2 and the Giants had a plus-16 run differential in those meetings.

The Giants prevented a 3-game sweep in its last series with a 6-4 road win at the Cincinnati Reds Sunday, but they are just 3-7 straight up (SU) in the last 10 games.

The Phillies are also 3-7 SU in the last 10, which includes a weekend 3-game sweep by the New York Mets on the road.

Giants at Phillies projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Kyle Gibson 

Webb is 5-1 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 53 1/3 IP over 9 starts.

  • Last start: No-decision in Tuesday’s 13-12 home win vs. the New York Mets with 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 6 K.
  • 2021 vs. the Phillies: A no-decision in San Francisco’s 10-7 in Philly April 20 with 4 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 1 HR, 2 BB and 4 K.

Gibson is 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 48 IP across 9 starts.

  • Last start: No-decision in Tuesday’s 6-5 loss at the Atlanta Braves  with 5 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 BB and 8 K.

Giants at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 7, Phillies 4

Money line

BET the GIANTS (-117) because they have edges over the Phillies (-103) in hitting and starting pitching and there is a reverse line movement heading toward San Francisco in the betting market.

Webb has a slightly better FIP than Gibson and 3 of Webb’s 4 pitches have a minus-run value (RV) whereas just 2 of Gibson’s 6 pitches have a minus-RV, according to Statcast.

San Francisco is 19-16 SU vs. right-handed pitching and ranks 8th in wRC+ (110), 6th in wOBA (.323) and 2nd in BB/K rate (0.47), per FanGraphs. Philly is 13-21 SU against righty starters with a 96 wRC+ (ranked 18th), .308 wOBA (16th) and 0.33 BB/K rate (23rd).

According to Pregame.com, roughly two-thirds of the money is on the Phillies, but they’ve gone from a -120 opening favorite down to the current number. It feels like the oddsmakers are laying a trap by making Philly’s ML cheaper.

BET 1 unit on the GIANTS (-117).

Run line/Against the spread

SPRINKLE on the GIANTS -1.5 (+135), if at all, based on the aforementioned logic and since San Francisco is 10-6 RL as road favorites and Philly is 10-14 RL at home. That said, the Giants’ relief pitching is suspect so there isn’t a lot of value in their RL.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-130) because both bullpens have a plus-4.20 ERA, the Giants are 6-3 O/U in Webb’s 9 starts this season and because the weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the mid-to-high-80s with 8.5 mph winds blowing out to right-center field so the ball could be jumping Monday afternoon.

However, it’s only a LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-130) because Citizens Bank Park is last in park factor in MLB, aka the most pitcher-friendly venue, and the Phillies are 1-7 O/U in their last 8 games vs. teams with a winning record.
