Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction: Phillies at home will never disappoint

Wednesday marks the conclusion of a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies, which will take place at Citizens Bank Park and feature Major League Baseball action. Will the Philadelphia Phillies be able to win the series in its entirety? Or will the Giants be able to pull something out of this series that they can use to their advantage?

The Philadelphia Phillies have been far and away the superior club in this series, as evidenced by the fact that they have won the opening two games after claiming victory on Tuesday. The victory moved the Phillies' overall record to 69-57 for the year, which places them 12.5 games behind in the fight for the National League East division and atop the mountain in the race for the National League Wild Card. Nick Castellanos has a team-high 30 doubles in addition to 78 RBIs and 21 home runs, while Bryson Stott leads the Philadelphia Phillies in hits with 137 and has a batting average of.298. Bryson Stott also leads the team in batting average. Alec Bohm is second on the club with 77 RBIs, while team leader Kyle Schwarber has a team-high 32 home runs and a team-high 80 RBIs of his own. Schwarber holds the dubious distinction of being the player on the Philadelphia Phillies team with the most strikeouts (164 so far this season). This game will be started for the Philadelphia Phillies by Michael Lorenzen, who has a record of 7-8, a 3.57 earned run average, and 94 strikeouts so far this season.

The San Francisco Giants had a chance to pick up a major win in the National League Playoff chase, but all they've done in the first two games of this series is fall flat on their faces after a 4-3 defeat to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. The San Francisco Giants are currently in last place in the National League playoff hunt. The defeat brought the San Francisco Giants' overall record to 65-61, placing them 12 games behind in the fight for the National League West division while also tying them for the National League's last Wild Card slot. J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto each have 15 home runs for the Giants this season. Wilmer Flores leads the team with 17 home runs, while J.D. Davis has posted 96 hits and a team-high 57 RBIs. Michael Conforto is tied for second with 14 home runs. This season, Conforto has 55 runs batted in, while LaMonte Wade Jr. has a batting average of.258 and an on-base percentage of.381. This season, Thairo Estrada has collected 98 hits, making him the Giants' leader in that category. Alex Cobb, who has a 6-5 record, a 3.75 earned run average, and 113 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for the San Francisco Giants in this game.

I'm going to have to side with the Philadelphia Phillies in this one. The San Francisco Giants just can't seem to figure out how to beat right-handed pitchers, and despite the fact that Michael Lorenzen had a rough outing in his most recent start, he's been rock solid for the most part over the course of the last month and a half. The Philadelphia Phillies have also done a terrific job hitting right-handed batters as of late, so I'm going to side with the Phillies in this matchup.
