Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have played good baseball so far in June.
They have a record of 33-33 which puts them 4.5 games behind the Mets for first place in the National League East.
Philly just lost two out of three to the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Their lone win in that series came when Zack Wheeler out pitched Clayton Kershaw.
Pitching was not the main issue in the series loss to the Dodgers. They just had trouble getting the bats going.
Aaron Nola has been solid this year with a 3.69 ERA. His last start came on Sunday against the Yankees where he fired 7.2 innings and fanned 9. He did not allow a run in that outing.
The Phillies have done well pitching this year with a 4.07 ERA which is 16th best in baseball. Zack Wheeler has been outstanding this year with a 2.15 ERA and 118 strikeouts.
Their offense is ranked 19th with a runs per game average of 4.20. Bryce Harper has not produced like he has in past years.
Aside from Harper, some other key hitters in their lineup are Rhys Hoskins, JT Realmuto, and Andrew McCutchen.
Philadelphia has hit 67 homers this year which is 22nd best in baseball.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants have been one of the most surprising teams in baseball the whole year. Not many had them playing as good as they currently are. They are hot coming into this series.
They sit at 44-25 which is one of the best records in baseball. San Francisco is in first place in the National League West, 2.5 games ahead of the Dodgers.
This team just swept the lowly Diamondbacks in a four game series in which they outscored them by a 37-20 margin.
Alex Wood has done well so far this year on the mound. He has a 6-3 record with a 3.71 ERA. He earned the victory in his last outing against Arizona where he went 6 innings and only allowed 2 earned runs.
The pitching staff has an ERA of 3.23, 4th best in baseball. Kevin Gausman and Anthony Desclafani have had very good years for this team.
The Giants have a very powerful offense, scoring just under 5 runs per game.
They are second in the league with 100 home runs hit.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco MLB Prediction:
This is a series between two teams that have been playing well as of late. I feel like it has the making for an interesting series.
Off that bat, I feel more confident with the Giants winning than I do with the Phillies.
To me, this seems like a pretty even pitching matchup. I feel Nola is the better pitcher, but that is no knock on Alex Wood.
Aaron Nola has been good this year, but his numbers have been much worse on the road. Because of this, I expect the Giants to be able to hit him enough to win. I am taking San Fran in this one.
