Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants 5/15/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Philadelphia Phillies will go against the San Francisco Giants in MLB action in Oracle Park, CA, on Monday, May 15, 2023, at 9:45 PM ET.

With the return of former MVP Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies appear to be finding their groove once more. Prior to Sunday’s series finale in Colorado, Harper and the Phillies amassed a five-game winning streak.

During that time, Harper batted .350 with one home run, four RBI, and a .600 slugging percentage. The Phillies’ five-game winning run was snapped on Sunday when they lost 4-0 to the Rockies.

In the third inning, Harper was dismissed for assaulting the Rockies’ bench.

In the first game of the series against the Giants, the Phillies are hoping to see development from southpaw Bailey Falter.

Falter made seven starts thus far, going winless with six defeats and a 5.75 ERA. In 36 innings, he gave up 42 hits while striking out only 6.5 per nine innings.

In four road starts, Falter is 0-4 with a 5.91 ERA, 26 hits surrendered in 21 innings of work, and a 5.5 K/9 rate. The lanky left-hander has a solid percentage but some horrible luck.

He maintains a respectable walk percentage of 5.2% while having a hard-hit percentage of 39.5. With only a 17% season strikeout percentage, he struggled to get rid of batters.

The total went UNDER in 5 of Philadelphia’s last 6 matches.
The Philadelphia Phillies are 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches.
The Phillies are 1-6 SU in their last 7 matches against San Francisco.

Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants Predictions 5/15/2023

The Giants had consistency issues all season and are yet to have any sort of hot run to establish themselves in the very competitive NL West Division.

The Giants dropped three of four and five of their previous seven games coming into the season finale on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

The Giants lost to the D-Backs 2-1 on Sunday in a walk-off defeat as they attempted to split the series. They managed only three hits and 13 strikeouts.

Left-handed pitcher Alex Wood will start Game 1 of the series for San Francisco against the Phillies. Wood will make only his second appearance since spending time on the IL and his first start since April 18th.

Wood made three starts this season and has a 2.45 ERA. On Friday against the Diamondbacks, he only pitched for one inning while giving up three hits and a run.

As he attempts to get back into shape, Wood most likely will be limited to a certain number of pitches on Monday night.

His early-season figures, which included a hard-hit rate of just under 40% and a strikeout percentage of 22.2%, were generally in line with his historical stats.

In contrast to his lifetime walk rate of 6.7%, Wood’s walk percentage this year is 13%.

The San Francisco Giants are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 5 of the Giants’ last 5 matches against Philadelphia.
The San Francisco Giants are 8-4 SU in their last 12 matches at home.

Philadelphia Phillies vs San Francisco Giants. The MLB pick for this game is the Philadelphia Phillies.

Despite the fact that Falter is winless so far this season, his statistics don’t show a pitcher who was hit exceptionally hard as much as a pitcher who had horrible luck with balls in play.

He will now face a Giants lineup that is only hitting .236 against left-handed pitchers this year.

The Phillies, however, enter the game with an offense that appears to be significantly improved now that Harper is back in the order and batting third.

The Phillies are only hitting .246 against left-handed pitchers, but they also slugged .420 and blasted 16 home runs. The Philadelphia Phillies will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
