The San Francisco Giants will look to rebound from their loss in the series opener by a final score of 4-3. San Francisco put up 2 runs in the second inning, but fell behind 4-2 by the end of the 4^th. San Fran would log another run in the 7^th, but that’s as close as they would get as the Phillies would hold on for the win in the end.

Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. I like Keaton Winn, and he’s pitched well, but it’s kind of the same issue that Jordan Hicks had on Friday. He has good numbers, but the Phillies will likely be the toughest lineup he’s faced so far. Suarez has been rolling throughout the season, and I think this game could be more of the same when all is said and done. Give me the Phillies.
