Phillies vs Giants Prediction
The Phillies probably should be favored at home, as they’re having a month from hell but there’s still talent on this roster. The Phillies aren’t nearly as bad as this stretch would indicate. However, that doesn’t mean I’m backing the Phillies as a favorite. I’m also not siding with the Giants and their hit-or-miss ways. Mahle has a 5.26 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 25.2 innings, while Luzardo has a 6.91 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 27.1 innings. Two pitchers in rough shape and two capable lineups. Forget a side, give me the over on Tuesday night.
