Giants vs Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies here. I just think that the Phillies are the better team by a fair margin here, and Cristopher Sanchez has been arguably the #2 in this rotation, or at the very least, the #2 lefty in this rotation. The Giants have been hit or miss against lefties, more so miss for much of the season, and I think Sanchez has a strong enough showing here to get the Phillies the win. Give me the Phils here.
