The Tony Vitello era careened off the tracks before it ever truly got started, leaving the San Francisco Giants with a 3-8 record and in desperate need of a win as they host the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Christopher Sanchez takes the mound for the visitors, while Robbie Ray gets the nod for the home team.<\/p>\n

My Phillies vs. Giants predictions and MLB picks<\/a> for Tuesday, April 7 are targeting San Francisco to get back on track at a good price in a low-scoring contest.<\/p>\n

Who will win Phillies vs Giants today: Giants (+132)<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> have been anemic against left-handed pitching, posting a measly 59 wRC+ and .165 AVG in 112 at-bats.<\/p>\n

Robbie Ray<\/a> performed admirably at Oracle Park last year (3.50 FIP) and has had plenty of juice in his first two starts (108 Stuff+), so he forecasts for a strong outing.<\/p>\n

Facing Cristopher Sanchez<\/a> is never fun, but he\u2019s down one mph on his fastball and has been unusually hittable (10th percentile average exit velocity, 14th percentile hard-hit rate).<\/p>\n

For as bad as the\u00a0San Francisco Giants<\/a> have been against RHP, the lineup is close to league-average against southpaws.<\/p>\n

Ray has found success against Philadelphia\u2019s lineup in the past, holding their projected lineup to 20-for-87 (.230) with 30 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Phillies vs Giants Over\/Under pick: Under 7 (-105)<\/p>\n

These are two quality starting pitchers, facing two lineups that have had their fair share of troubles \u2014 Philadelphia against lefties and San Francisco in general. The Giants have plated four or fewer runs in nine of their 11 games.<\/p>\n

Although the surface-level statistics may not show it, these are two quality bullpens. The Phillies have the best SIERA in relief (2.69) but a 4.17 ERA, and the Giants have a quality 3.81 SIERA but a grotesque 4.93 ERA.<\/p>\n

Both of those bullpen ERAs are due for positive regression, creating value in the Under in the meantime.<\/p>\n
