Giants Can’t Get Over the Hump
The Giants can’t seem to get over the hump, and now they are back below .500 again. On Saturday they had seven hits, but only three runs and they ended up losing. The Giants are averaging 4.26 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.38 runs per game. The offense is ranked 18th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 16th. They have a run differential of -0.13 which is 19th in the league. Matt Chapman has hit 21 home runs and driven in 67 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Giants will be Logan Webb, who sits with an 11-8 record and an ERA of 3.24. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he went five innings, giving up four hits and four runs.
Webb struggled in his last start, but I still trust him. He still sits with an 11-8 record, and he’s going to step up in a big way here. The Marlins are averaging only 3.77 runs per game, and they are going to really struggle here to get the offense going. The Giants are going to get over their season average of 4.26 and that is going to be the difference here as San Francisco will get the job done. Back the Giants on the run line.
