San Francisco Giants vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

Game 1 Prediction: I have to roll with the Phillies in game 1. Webb isn’t nearly the same pitcher on the road as he is at Oracle, and he hasn’t been great this season through 37 innings. Webb has a 4.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP along with 13 walks. Sanchez looks like an all-star with a 2.94 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 33.2 innings. Lower the traffic and Sanchez is even better. Because of the edge on the mound, give me the home team to draw first blood.

Game 2 Prediction: It’s impossible to pick game 2 without knowing the pitching matchup, but I’ll lean Giants at the time of this writing. It’s hard to sweep a doubleheader; also, the Phillies haven’t been able to string together wins up to this point. Assuming the Phillies do win game 1, I’d like the Giants to respond with a win of their own.
