San Francisco Giants Struggle Against Philadelphia Phillies' Dominant Offense: Debut of Mason Black and Zack Wheeler's Stellar Performance Raise Stakes

The San Francisco Giants are currently facing challenges in securing wins as a result of their struggling offense. To date, they have lost four out of their last five games, including the first two games of this series. In contrast, the Philadelphia Phillies have been successful in eight of their last ten matches leading up to Sunday night. Additionally, the Giants are set to debut Mason Black in the Major League Baseball, despite his impressive statistics in the minor leagues, he may face challenges against a strong Phillies offense that has scored a total of 18 runs in the first two games of this series. On the other hand, Zack Wheeler, a leading candidate for the Cy Young award, has been delivering exceptional performances and has only conceded one run in his last 18.1 innings pitched. Considering the Phillies' recent victories, it may be advisable to consider the run line bet, as eight of their last ten wins have been by a margin of two runs or more.
