San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies: Odds, Line, Picks, NRFI and Predictions May 30, 2022 | 2022 MLB Season
This afternoon, the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies start a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
With both teams coming off of losing series, they will look to gain some ground in their respective divisions in this series. The Giants dropped two out of three to the lowly Cincinnati Reds, and the Phillies were swept by the New York Mets.
Pitching in this first game are Logan Webb for San Francisco and Kyle Gibson for Philly.
Webb has been a solid starter for San Fran this year. He's not lighting up the world, but he's doing his job. Webb enters this series with a 5-1 record and a 3.54 ERA.

Conversely, Gibson has been sporadic, to say the least, for the Phillies. He could just as easily give up six runs as he could pitch a shutout. However, his last two starts have gone well, as he pitched five innings in both and gave up only two runs in both.

Bryce Harper is coming off a dismal series where he went 3-12. A guy like Harper will not continue to perform like that. Bettors can expect a strong performance from him today.

San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The over/under today is relatively high, but it's an understandable number given that Kyle Gibson is starting, and both the Phillies and Giants have one of the worst bullpens in the majors. So while I don't think there will be a shutout, both starters should go deep into this game and keep the runs to a minimum.
Under 9.5 Runs
This was supposed to be an easy 10-game road trip for the Giants, so the fact that they are already down 1-2 on the trip means they need to win this series in Philly, and they'll be looking for a sweep.
Giants (-112)
