Matchup History
St. Louis’ 6-0 win over the Giants back on April 27th, 2023, snapped San Francisco’s three-game win streak in this head-to-head win streak.
Trends
San Francisco is 6-1 in their last 7 road games and 8-1 in their last 9 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the under is 7-2-1 in their last 10 series-opening games. St. Louis is 2-7 in their last 9 games overall and 8-22 in their last 30 series-opening games while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. Logan Webb’s been hit fairly hard in his last couple of outings, and Webb’s road ERA is double of what his home ERA is, sitting around four. On the other side, Matthew Liberatore’s been lit up in his last couple of outings, and I don’t trust him here against a San Fran team that’s hitting lefties fairly well themselves. All in all, I think once the bullpens have their say, we have a higher-scoring game here so give me the over.
