The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to avoid losing two straight series as they face off against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on May 28.

Edmundo Sosa has been a great replacement for the injured Trea Turner, and our Phillies vs. Giants prediction expects him to keep up the good work. Find out more below in my MLB picks for this NL affair.

My analysis
The Philadelphia Phillies offense has gone a bit cold recently, with just six runs in their last two games. They should have a chance to break out of that tonight, as the San Francisco Giants won’t have any of their usual starters on the mound.

Philadelphia's star-studded lineup has relied on some unsung heroes in recent weeks. One of those guys is shortstop Edmundo Sosa, who is only getting regular playing time due to Trea Turner’s injury.

Sosa usually bats in the bottom of the order but that hasn’t stopped him from putting up some great numbers. Sosa is batting .339 since May 3, with 10 of those hits going for extra bases. He’s scored 16 runs in those 19 games (18 starts) with 11 RBI as well.

The important thing here is Sosa has been consistent, collecting at least one hit in 15 of the last 19 games with a run scored in 13 as well. The Giants have the seventh-worst bullpen ERA in the league and those arms could be seeing a lot of action tonight.

Sosa has gone Over 1.5 HRR (Hits + Runs + RBI) in 15 of his last 19 games, and that should happen again tonight.

Phillies -1.5

Sosa has been consistently consistent for the Phillies in recent weeks, and Philadelphia should be able to get back on track tonight.

Zack Wheeler is 6-3 this season with a 2.53 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. He’s already beaten the Giants once this season with an 11-strikeout performance, and he should help the Phils get back in the win column.
