<h2>Phillies @ Giants &#8211; First Pitch: 3:45 p.m.</h2>

<p>We&#8217;re set to preview the <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb" target='_blank' rel="noopener">MLB</a></span> </strong>matchup between the <strong>San Francisco Giants</strong> and the <strong>Philadelphia Phillies</strong>, where the starting pitcher for the Giants is <strong>Ross</strong> <strong>Stripling</strong> as the starter.</p>
<p>For the Phillies, <strong>Taijuan Walker </strong>is expected to take the bump. Philly is priced at <strong>-119</strong>, aiming to break their<strong> three-game losing streak</strong>. The game&#8217;s total opened at <strong>9.5 </strong>but has been bet down to<strong> 9</strong>, a surprising number considering yesterday&#8217;s total was <strong>7.5</strong>, ending with a score of seven, favoring the under bettors.</p>
<p>The Phillies desperately need to deliver, having suffered another one-run loss on their West Coast trip. Today&#8217;s game could be different, with weather conditions suggesting the potential for a higher-scoring match. With <strong>winds blowing straight out</strong> at <strong>8 </strong>to <strong>10 mph</strong> and <strong>temperatures </strong>in the<strong> 60s</strong>, conditions are ripe for some long balls.</p>
<p>The ball is likely to travel well against Walker, so the light-hitting Giants should take advantage. This suggests an inclination towards an <strong>over </strong>for this game. For those looking to bet early, the <strong>first five innings</strong> could also likely go <strong>over,</strong> considering the current conditions and Walker&#8217;s performance on the mound.</p>
<p>The betting scene for the Giants vs. Phillies game leans towards a higher-scoring match, largely driven by the weather conditions in the Bay Area and the pitching matchup. Keep an eye on the over, especially in the early innings.</p>
