Paul Goldschmidt leads the Cardinals with 29 hits and 13 RBI, while Nolan Arenado and Nolan Gorman have combined for 48 hits and 36 RBI. Miles Mikolas gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 7.46 ERA and 23 strikeouts this season. Mikolas is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA and 19 strikeouts in his career against the Giants.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 16 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 straight games. The Giants are 10-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Thairo Estrada leads the Giants with 30 hits and 7 RBI, while Mike Yastrzemski and JD Davis have combined for 46 hits and 29 RBI.

The Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 Thursday games and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The under is 12-4-1 in Cardinals last 17 road games. The under is 6-2-1 in Giants last 9 overall. The Cardinals are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings.
The San Francisco Giants have caught fire over the last week, and now they’re at home with the quick turnaround. Logan Webb has been rough to start the season, but we know what he’s capable of, especially at Oracle Park given his success these last couple of years. Miles Mikolas has allowed 21 earned runs in 25.1 innings. No, thanks. Give me the Giants.
