Anytime you can get a competent team like the Giants at a value of almost 2-1 you have to look for reasons they are better than the odds. The Giants road record is a bit deceiving, because they began the season 0-6 on the road, and then suffered through a 1-5 trip in May. That accounts for all of their deficit as being a team well below .500 on the road. The Giants have been an excellent bounce back team off a loss as they are playing nearly .600 baseball on the season, that includes 6-2 in their last eight off a loss. While the Phillies are just 1-4 after their opponent scores two runs or less, the Giants have come back from scoring two or less to go 6-2 in their next game. Giants have taken five of the last seven games from the Phillies, so no intimidation here. I'll back the Giants in this one.
