The Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals start a four-game series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Friday, July 8, 2022.

Giants vs Padres Betting Pick
This game will be played at Busch Stadium at 8:15 PM ET on Friday, July 8, 2022.
Why Bet The Padres:
Kyle Gibson (4-3; 4.91 ERA) will take the mound for the Phillies and meet the Cardinals for the second time this season. Last Saturday, Gibson was obliterated for six earned runs on seven hits and two walks across four innings in a no-decision against St. Louis. The 34-year-old right-hander has struggled mightily over his previous three starts, yielding 14 runs on 18 hits and five walks through 13 innings of work.
The current Cardinals are 13-for-53 against Kyle Gibson, and seven of those 13 hits went yard. They own a ridiculous 1.503 OPS versus Gibson, so keep your eyes on Nolan Arenado, Dylan Carlson, Nolan Gorman, and Juan Yepez, who all hit a no-doubter off Gibson last Saturday.
The Cardinals’ bullpen has been outstanding in the last seven days and 21.2 innings of work. It has registered a microscopic 0.83 ERA, 2.69 FIP, and .164 BABIP while surrendering 2.5 walks and 0.4 home runs per nine frames.
San Francisco Giants
Thursday’s games have been excluded from this preview, and the 43-39 Phillies were looking to bounce back from Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat to the Washington Nationals. Philadelphia trounced the Nats 11-0 on Tuesday but couldn’t get things going at the plate in the second of a three-game home series.
The Phillies are slashing a strong .269/.333/.479 in their last five games and 167 at-bats. Their bullpen has recorded a majestic 0.47 ERA and 2.44 FIP across 19.1 innings pitched during that stretch.
San Diego Padres
The 44-40 Cardinals played the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night, hoping to avoid a sweep in a four-game road series. They’ve won only one of their previous seven games overall, carrying a four-game losing streak into Thursday’s clash at Truist Park in Atlanta.
Adam Wainwright (6-6; 3.26 ERA) will take the mound Thursday and take on the Phillies for the second time in six days. The 40-year-old right-hander gave up four runs on eight hits across 5.2 frames in a 4-0 defeat at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia last Sunday.
