The Philadelphia Phillies roll into Oracle Park to open a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants, who are back home after taking two of three from the A’s.
With Zack Wheeler dealing on Sunday, my Phillies vs. Giants predictions shift focus to Christopher Sanchez and his strikeout potential in Monday’s MLB picks for July 7.
Phillies vs Giants prediction
My Phillies vs Giants best bet: Cristopher Sanchez Over 5.5 strikeouts (+100 at Caesars)
Cristopher Sanchez has seen the San Francisco Giants twice in his young career, and he threw gems in both outings.
He’s pitched 13 innings, allowing eight hits and two earned runs while striking out 19 and walking two. That’s right, 19 strikeouts in 13 innings. One of those outings came earlier this season when Sanchez baked up a dozen strikeouts through seven innings against San Francisco.
The Giants are coming off a game in which Jacob Lopez, fellow southpaw, had eight strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings against them.
The Giants have the 12th-highest strikeouts per game at 8.47 this season, but they have the seventh-highest strikeout rate against LHP, including the fifth-highest rate over the last 30 days.
Caesars QuickPick: Our Phillies vs Giants same-game parlay (SGP)
Cristopher Sanchez Over 5.5 strikeouts
Kyle Schwarber 1+ hits
Under 7
Kyle Schwarber isn’t just blasting homers this season, he’s showing that last year’s .248 average wasn’t a fluke with a .251 average. He’s had a hit in three straight games and seven of his last eight overall.
The Phillies have gone Under in six of their last eight games to bring their season total to 49 Unders and 38 Overs. The Giants have one of the best bullpens in baseball, and Philly’s bats are cold.
