Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. I just think that Andrew Painter’s the more reliable and trustworthy starter in this matchup and I don’t think that Adrian Houser’s worth backing at home here with this Giants’ offense behind him, or lack thereof. I think the Phillies get the job done in this one so give me Philadelphia.
