Madison Bumgarner will get the start tonight for the San Francisco Giants when they travel to Citizens Bank Park to take on Zach Eflin and the Philadelphia Phillies. Despite a lack of run support for the left-hander, Bumgarner is still 10-6 on the season with an ERA of 2.09 and a 0.98 WHIP. The Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings with the Phillies and 7-2 in their last 9 in Philadelphia. The Phillies’ Zach Eflin is 3-4 in 2016, with an ERA of 4.23 and a WHIP of 1.19. The Phillies have struggled against left-handers, going 3-7 in their last 10. Hunter Pence has hit safely in his 2 games since returning to the line-up and is batting .318 in his career against his former team. Pence should help jump start this offense.
Tonight’s pick:
