The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have looked good in their games this season with their 49-42 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL West. They have also looked a lot better in their own ballpark this year with their 25-17 home record. Meanwhile, the Phillies have looked great in their games this season with their 53-37 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East. They have been a good road team too with their 23-21 road record this season. They have also been the hotter team coming into this series, but the Giants do have the better pitching matchup here and they can take advantage of that at home. Walker is on the mound for the Phillies in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 3-5 with a 3.64 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He gave up no runs in his last start too, but the team has still lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and he has struggled more on the road this year. The Giants are going with Ray in this one and he has been one of their best starters all year. He is 9-3 with a 2.68 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately either. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start which has been a common theme for him and the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too. The Giants have the edge in this one with Ray. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.

“That was as dominant as you're going to get other than a perfect game. He amazes me. He really does.” - Rob Thomson after his team’s win against the Reds in their game on Sunday.

“He just looks more comfortable at the plate. When you get some hits and you knock some runs in, it makes you feel a little bit more comfortable. I think maybe there was some pressure on him early on, and he kind of got past it. Now we’re seeing better swings. Really, even against [A’s closer Mason] Miller, throwing 102 [mph], it seemed like he was kind of on every pitch, which is difficult to do with him. Three more RBIs today. He’s been pretty instrumental in the wins.” - Bob Melvin after his team’s win against the Athletics in their game on Sunday.
