Cristopher Sanchez has allowed two runs or fewer in five of six starts, including against the Giants in early April. He has been flat-out dominant at home, allowing two or fewer in 18 consecutive starts. He is well-positioned to neuter a Giants offense that ranks dead last in runs, homers, and stolen bases.

The Phillies have not had a strong offensive season, but they’ve quietly been potent at home – at least against right-handed pitching. They sit sixth in SLG, ninth in OPS, and 10th in wOBA vs. righties. That could be trouble for Logan Webb, who has allowed at least three earned runs in five of six starts and has yet to find his footing.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits Bailey Ober's best offerings extremely well, especially the changeup. Vladdy has a 70% hard-hit rate against the pitch, and that can easily translate to a gopher ball.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads the majors in hits and batting average this season and has three multi-hit performances over his last four games, while averaging 2.5 bases per game in that stretch. Facing Twins SP Bailey Ober will help sustain this production, as he doesn't generate whiffs.

Brewers hitters have teed off on Jake Irvin in the past, slashing .317/.403/.557 heading into Friday’s matchup. With Jacob Misiorowski leading the NL in strikeouts, expect Milwaukee to cover as road favorites in the nation’s capital.
