The Philadelphia Phillies visit the San Francisco Giants Monday to begin a three-game series with both teams in the playoff picture. The Phillies hold a 1.5-game lead on the New York Mets in the NL East, while the Giants are in the thick of the NL wild card race. Both teams come into this set winning their last two contests. First pitch on MLB Network is set for 9:45 p.m. ET.

If you're a sports fan interested in MLB betting and are looking for the latest Phillies vs. Giants odds, MLB player props and MLB best bets today, make sure to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say about Saturday's contest.

The Giants will roll with Landon Roupp (6-5, 3.48 ERA) to start the series. The right-hander has held his own in his first full season as a member of the big league rotation. Roupp has won three of his last five starts but went just four innings in his most recent outing against the Diamondbacks. FanDuel Sportsbook has his strikeout prop set at 4.5, with the Over priced at +106 and the Under at -134. The model has a slight lean to the Over.

The Phillies are hoping for another strong pitching effort when they send Cristopher Sanchez (7-2, 2.68 ERA) to the bump Monday. Sanchez will try to replicate Zach Wheeler's effort after the ace pitched a complete game Sunday, allowing just one run and striking out 12 hitters. The left-hander enters Monday 11th in the NL in fWAR among starting pitchers. He's set at O/U 5.5 strikeouts, with the Over priced at +102 and the Under at -136. The model also leans to the Over for Sanchez.

Kyle Schwarber has the lowest price on the FanDuel odds board to hit a home run at +430. He's followed by Matt Chapman (+560), Rafael Devers (+630), Bryce Harper (+630), Willy Adames (+700) and Heliot Ramos (+800).

The Phillies are -135 favorites (wager $135 to win $100) on the money line in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, while the Giants are +115 underdogs (wager $100 to win $115). The total currently sits at 7.5. You can find the model's latest projections, along with expert picks for Phillies vs. Giants, at SportsLine.
