Odds, picks & predictions

Run line: Giants -1.5 (+165)
Run total: 8
Moneyline odds: Phillies -125, Giants +105

Moneyline pick: Phillies -125

Philadelphia will avoid the sweep and avoid a six-game losing streak with a victory Wednesday night. Rodon’s 2022 numbers look good, but a lot of that has to do with a fantastic first month of the season when he allowed just 3 runs over 23 innings. He was not nearly as good in May, and the Phillies should put themselves in a position to take this game.

Player prop pick: Carlos Rodon Over 8.5 strikeouts (+105)

This is a solid matchup for Rodon to put up a high strikeout total, which has been a strength of his game throughout his career but especially over his last few seasons. Rodon threw at least 8 strikeouts five times this year and will face a Philadelphia lineup that is tied for the 24th most strikeouts per game.
