Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction: Giants to avoid a sweep

The four-game series finale will end as the San Francisco Giants look to avoid a sweep in this Monday’s MLB action at Citizens Bank Park. Again, the Phillies are favorites, but can the San Francisco Giants take something in this series?

Philadelphia Phillies again showed class and character against the Giants in their game 3, securing a hard-fought 5-4 win as underdogs. With that win, the Philadelphia Phillies retained their top spot in the National League and extended their record to 24-11. In their last ten games, the Philadelphia Phillies have won 9, with their lone defeat being against the Angles on the road on the last day of April. The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 23 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The Philadelphia Phillies have won 14 of their last 16 games when scoring 4 or more runs.

On the mound in this finale, the Philadelphia Phillies will have Zack Wheeler in the starting job. Wheeler has a 3-3 record with a 1.91 ERA and 52 strikeouts, allowing 9 earned runs and 22 hits in his last 36.1 innings.

The San Francisco Giants were disappointing again and are about to be swept. The San Francisco Giants started the series with a close 4-3. This side lost consecutive games, and they now have a big job to avoid a sweep. The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 23 runs in their last three games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The San Francisco Giants have failed to step up in recent games, and their losses have extended to five in seven games. The San Francisco Giants have a 15-20 record, with them seated 13th in the National League and fourth in the National League West Division.

On the mound for this finale, the San Francisco Giants will send Mason Black, who will make his MLB debut in this game. In his minor league career, Black had a 12-14 record, with a 3.22 ERA and 320 strikeouts.

Regardless of how the first three games ended, I think the Giants will be fighting to avoid a sweep. The fact that the Phillies have been at the top of their game since the beginning of the season always makes them favorites, and while the San Francisco Giants have failed to step up, the visiting team now have a big job to do. Regardless, this type of game, I feel, will be evenly contested, and the Giants have a chance in this one after several strong plays in game 3.
