Odds from BetOnline as of 09/02/2022

Philadelphia has struggled in their recent road games and they have scored just 10 runs in their last three games played. They don’t hit well against right-handers so they will likely struggle against Cobb who has done a good job in his recent appearances at home, conceding only nine total runs in six total starts. Cobb has also given up only five earned runs in two starts against the Phillies.

The Phillies snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Diamondbacks 18-2 on Wednesday night. The Giants have lost eight straight games heading to this series. But this is a good chance for them to snap the skid.

While Gibson is 9-5 on the season, he has an ERA of 4.08 which increases to 4.70 when he is pitching on the road. The Phillies are also just 1-4 in their last five games played and gave up 30 total runs in three games before Wednesday’s win. Give me the Giants to end their losing streak.

Philadelphia has scored 7 or more runs in six out of their last nine games played. San Francisco has conceded five or more runs in six out of their last nine assignments.

With Gibson conceding close to five runs per game when pitching away from home and Cobb having an ERA close to four runs per contest, I expect these teams to go over this modest total.
