This is a good one. We are backing both Jordan Hicks and Aaron Nola. These have been two of the best pitchers this season and I love going NRSI here to avoid bats like Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Jorge Soler. Let's get into this one.
San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
First off we are backing Nola a little bit more today. Nola and the Phillies' pen need to make sure San Francisco doesn’t score eight runs. The game total is at 7.5 so we only lose the juice reducer if they hit the over completely by themselves. San Francisco has only scored 8+ runs once in their last 29 games. Nola went seven innings last year against San Fran and only allowed two runs.
We need a clean second inning from Jordan Hicks. Avoiding Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Turner would be huge and I think its unlikely that Philly scores a second inning run three games in a row. I think the middle and end of order are solid but Hicks will overall be too much of a match for them in their first at bats of the day. This market has been kind to us again this year, let's keep the good vibes rolling!
