Game Prediction
These bullpens have been doing a great job throughout the season as the Giants are ninth in the sport with a 3.78 reliever ERA while the Phillies are eighth with a 3.69 bullpen ERA. Michael Lorenzen and Alex Cobb have shown the ability to limit runs against and though this Phillies offense can put up a crooked number, expect the under to be the better play here.
