The San Francisco Giants enter a home series with the Philadelphia Phillies faltering, having dropped three consecutive games.

However, I believe San Francisco can get back on track tonight. See why with my Phillies vs. Giants predictions and MLB picks for Monday, April 6.

Who will win Phillies vs Giants today: Giants (+105)

These teams have played vastly different schedules to start the year, creating value on the home team.

The San Francisco Giants are just 3-7 but have faced three quality teams (Yankees, Padres, Mets) and will be playing their fifth consecutive home game. 

The Philadelphia Phillies are 5-4, but their series wins came against two of the worst teams in the league (Rockies and Nationals). It’s not an ideal travel spot, coming off an uninspiring 4-1 loss in Colorado

Adrian Houser’s 117 Pitching+ in his Giants debut will play in pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Much was made about Phillies starter Andrew Painter’s impressive MLB debut (1 ER, 4 H, 8 Ks). Keep in mind that was against a poor Nationals lineup, however.

Phillies vs Giants Over/Under pick: Under 8 (-102)

There’s too much talent and past production in San Francisco’s lineup for these results to hold for too long, but right now they paint an undeniable picture — this lineup is riding the struggle bus. 

The Giants are 23 points worse in wRC+ (45) and 58 points worse in wOBA (.229) against RHP than any other team. They’ve plated three or fewer runs in in eight of their 10 games. 

Both starting pitchers had a 117 Pitching+ in their respective debuts, and both bullpens are due for positive regression with Top-12 SIERA marks but Bottom-10 ERAs.
