Joe Girardi's team has only won one series in all of May. So June is crucial for the Phillies. If they are as unsuccessful this month, playoff contention will be a thing of the past. In the National League East Division standings, the Phillies are third with an abysmal 21-29 balance.
In game two of the series with San Francisco, Philadelphia was close, bouncing back from a 1-3 deficit, but still lost in the second extra-inning 4-7. The loss went to reliever Andrew Bellatti.
Aaron Nola will pitch for the Phillies in game three of their showdown with the Giants, 2-4 and a 3.56 ERA in 10 starts.
Will San Francisco catch up with their division leaders soon?
After beating Philadelphia twice, San Francisco has reached a 27-21 balance. Gabe Kapler's team is now just a couple of wins behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West Division standings. The Los Angeles Dodgers, the quintet leader, are now just six wins away from the Giants. The Giants' margin of victory is narrowing.
San Francisco's winning run in the 11th inning of game two of the series against Philadelphia was scored by catcher Joey Bart, who came home after a double to center by Donovan Walton. Joc Pederson's two-run home run sealed the win for the Giants. Reliever Jose Alvarez got the win.
Carlos Rodon will pitch for San Francisco in the upcoming game, 4-4 and a 3.60 ERA in nine starts.

Expert Betting Tips
With Aaron Nola in the starting lineup, Philadelphia has lost 8 out of 10 games this season. The Phillies have completely fallen apart lately, so the unpleasant trend may well be reinforced by a loss in the upcoming game as well. Pitcher Rodon also has three losses in a row. But before that, he was going 4-1. It's time to make amends.
Prediction: a win for San Francisco.
