This is a 10* on PHILADELPHIA

The Giants were among the hottest teams in baseball not too long ago, but have cooled off considerably by losing 8 of their last 12. Two of the four wins have come in this series against the similarly struggling Phillies. Last night was a 3-1 win, the second time in the series a Giants starter was able to hold the Philies hitters in check. But there's no Madison Bumgarner or Jeff Samardzija on the mound tonight. Instead it will be Conner Menez and we like Philly's chances against him. Menez is making only his third start of the year, but second in a row in the rotation. He gave up five runs Tuesday in a loss to the Nationals. Menez isn't likely to get much help from the Giants hitters either. They've averaged less than three runs/game over the last week.They average only 3.3 runs/game at home. What that all means is that it should be a good start for Jake Arrieta, who has given up just runs in each of his last two starts. Play on PHILADELPHIA
