The Giants are keen on extending their success with their home-field advantage. However, it's not going to be easy with a strong offense and a dominant pitcher against them. After their last victory, the Giants moved one game ahead of the .500 mark with a 23-22 record.

Phillies vs Giants: Pitching matchups

Zack Wheeler will go up against the Giants on Tuesday. The right-handed pitcher has a 2.53 ERA with a 6-3 record this season. Wheeler has been a dominant force for his team with a solid WHIP of 0.98. In 67.2 innings pitched, Wheeler has 76 strikeouts. The Giants will need to work their way up to score against Wheeler.

Mason Black will make his 2024 debut with the Giants in the second game. The 24-year-old pitcher is going up against one of the best offensive teams in the league. Black will need control and enough support from the plate if he wants to pick up a win or impress the Giants rotation.

Phillies vs Giants: Prediction

The Giants are starting with a new pitcher against a team that has been dominant with their performance. Black will need more than strikeouts to hold the opponent down.

The latest prediction favors the Phils to win on Tuesday and break their two-game losing streak. With a strong pitcher on the mound and an equally balanced offense, they are predicted to win this game and make up for their loss.
