Baseball’s best road team faces the league’s best home team as the Philadelphia Phillies are at the San Francisco Giants on Thursday at 10:15 PM EST. Rodrigo Lopez is set to go for the Phillies while the Giants counter with Jonathan Sanchez. SBG Global reports that early MLB wagering lines sees the public taking the Phillies on the road as a -112 favorite with a total 8.5 over -120.
Lopez could be making his last start for the Phillies for a while. He has done everything he can to stay in the starting rotation. He is 3-0 with a 3.09 ERA this season. With the Phillies getting Cliff Lee and with Pedro Martinez just about ready, it could be that Lopez’s time in the starting rotation is coming to an end.
Sanchez is 3-9 with a 4.92 ERA for San Francisco this season. He had his one great start when he threw the no-hitter against the Padres but other than that he hasn’t been very good. He gave up five runs on five hits in an 8-2 loss to Colorado last time out.
The Giants continue to play great ball at home. They are coming off a sweep of the Pirates as Randy Winn singled with two outs in the 10th to give them a 1-0 win on Wednesday. It was the first sweep of the Pirates for the Giants since 2005. Brian Wilson got the win although Matt Cain did all the work, throwing nine scoreless innings. Cain leads the league in ERA at 2.12.
