Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants
MLB: 7:05 PM ET

TV: ESPN
Latest Odds : San Francisco -110 O/U 9.0
Tough times in terms of run-scoring prior to Friday's rare offensive explosion as, after a 6-0 win Thursday, the San Francisco Giants entered Game 2 of this series on an O/U run of 2-11-1 their last 14 games. A key to the trend has been a slumping offense as the San Francisco Giants had averaged only 3 runs per game during this 14-game stretch.
The Philadelphia Phillies entered this series off a 6-1 loss Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks and then followed up with a shutout loss in the first game of this series as their recent trend of scoring struggles continues. Consider Friday's 9-run explosion an aberration as the Philadelphia Phillies entered Friday having been held to 4 runs or less in 12 of their last 17 games.
