Pick
I’m backing the Giants here. This is a tough turnaround for the Phillies after a game at Coors Field on Sunday and there’s rumblings that the Phillies could be without Bryce Harper after his little dustup with the Rockies on Sunday. I’m also not a fan of Bailey Falter and the Phillies haven’t been able to win with him on the mound so far this season. All in all, I think the Giants find a way to get it done here so give me San Francisco.
