The San Francisco Giants (12-5) are set to face off against the Philadelphia Phillies (10-7) in Game 3 of their four-game series. After a 6-4 loss in Game 2, the Giants will send Robbie Ray to the mound, boasting a record of 3-0 with a 2.94 ERA, to counter Phillies ace Aaron Nola, who is still searching for his first win at 0-3 with a 5.51 ERA. The matchup is critical as both teams seek to gain momentum in this tightly contested series.

The Phillies' recent offensive surge, highlighted by home runs from Bryce Harper and JT Realmuto, indicates a powerful lineup that can capitalize on pitching missteps. For Giants fans, the performance of Justin Verlander, who gave up four runs over 5.2 innings in the last outing, raises questions about the pitching depth. Betting odds reflect a slight edge for the Phillies at -140 on the moneyline with an over/under set at 7.0 runs, suggesting an anticipated competitive game.
