They enter this game with a 50-42 record overall and have a home record of 26-17. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Phillies on Wednesday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. The Giants won the 1st game of this series on Monday.

The current betting odds have the Phillies listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have looked good in their games this season with their 50-42 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 26-17 home record. Meanwhile, the Phillies have looked great in their games this season with their 53-38 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East. They have been a good road team too with their 23-22 road record this season. The Phillies lost the 1st game of this series, but they do have the better pitching matchup in this one and can take advantage of that. Luzardo is on the mound for the Phillies and he hasn't looked bad this season. He is 7-5 with a 4.44 ERA and is coming off a terrible start, but he hasn't looked like that for most of the season and will be looking to bounce back after giving up 5 earned runs. The Giants are going with Verlander in this one and he just hasn't had it this season. He is 0-6 with a 4.84 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs lately. He just gave up 6 earned runs in his last start which is starting to become a common theme for him, and the team has also lost 4 games in a row with him starting as he is still looking for his 1st win of the season. Look for Luzardo to bounce back with a better performance here while the Phillies lean more on that great offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Phillies to win this game.

“It looked normal. Balanced and a lot of bat speed. Hopefully we’re making strides here.” - Rob Thomson on Bryce Harper after his team’s loss against the Giants in their game on Monday.

“He’s played there before. He played his rehab games there. Like any new position, it’s going to take a little bit of time, but he does have some experience playing there. [Brett] Wisely has been playing pretty good, too. We’ve got to mix him in there as well, but predominantly second base for Casey." - Bob Melvin after his team’s win against the Phillies in their game on Monday.
