Can't trust the last place Phillies who are 3,000 miles from home. The Phillies are 2-10 in their last 12 Sunday get-away games, plus 1-5 in their last six road games. Philadelphia is terrible on offense at 22nd in runs scored, 26th in on base percentage, and 28th in slugging. Philadelphia couldn't hold a 5-1 lead yesterday as the Giants rallied for a 6-5 win. The Giants are 19-7 in Sunday games, plus 5-1 as as a favorite. The Giants are 14-6 against a team with a losing record and have Tim Lincecum going, who is 6-3 with a 3.51 ERA at home. The Giants are 4-1 in Lincecum's last five home starts, plus 5-1 at home against a team with a losing record. The Phillies are 2-6 in the last eight meetings, and the home team again holds all the cards. Play San Francisco.
