Will the Phillies Continue Holding Second Wild Card Spot?
Friday night’s starter for the Phillies has done an excellent job against the Giants in recent years, making them a sizable road favorite in this matchup against a slumping San Francisco. The Phillies have been a solid road team and own a 34-28 record as the visitors, which should benefit them ahead of a matchup against a Giants team running low on confidence.
Phillies Projected Lineup:
LF Kyle Schwarber
1B Rhys Hoskins
3B Alec Bohm
DH Bryce Harper
C J.T. Realmuto
2B Jean Segura
RF Matt Vierling
CF Brandon Marsh
SS Edmundo Sosa
Starting Pitcher: Kyle Gibson
Can the Giants End Losing Skid?
To say August wasn’t kind to the San Francisco Giants would be an understatement. The team ended the month on a seven-game losing skid and has posted a 2-8 record over their past ten games. Offensively, the team isn’t generating much, and aside from the rotation, the pitching hasn’t been something to write home about either.
Giants Projected Lineup:
1B LaMonte Wade
CF Mike Yastrzemski
3B Wilmer Flores
LF Joc Pederson
SS Brandon Crawford
2B Thairo Estrada
DH Tommy La Stella
RF Luis Gonzalez
C Austin Wynns
Starting Pitcher: Alex Cobb
