Strong Start for the Giants
It has been a strong start for the Giants, and they have come into this game with a 3-1 record overall. The offense really broke out once the Astros bullpen came into the game, and that was enough for the Giants to secure the 7-2 victory. Wilmer Flores was the star of the show for San Francisco, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs. Jordan Hicks also had a dominant game going six innings giving up one hit, zero runs, and six strikeouts. Saturday was the only loss, and in that game, the pitching was still good, giving up only three runs. Over the last three games, the Giants have given up only eight runs in total.Â
Logan Webb, making his second season start, will start for the Giants. He enters this game with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 5.40. Against the Cincinnati Reds, he pitched five innings, giving up six hits and three runs.Â
Shocking Pitching for Astros
In the first three games of the season, the Astros’ pitching was strong, but the same couldn’t be said on Monday. Ronel Blanco went five innings and gave up three hits and three runs. Luis Contreras and Rafael Montero were both issues out of the bullpen, and they gave up two runs. Isaac Parades was the only bright spot for the offense, and he finished with one hit and two RBIs driven in. On Saturday, the Astros faced off against the New York Mets, and they picked up the 2-1 victory.Â
Hayden Wesneski will start for the Astros, and this will be his first start with his new squad. Last season with the Chicago Cubs, he finished with a 3-6 record and an ERA of 3.86.Â

San Francisco Giants vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Giants picked up the victory on Monday, but this game isn’t going to have the same result. Wesneski was solid for the Cubs last year. Don’t be fooled for the record; a lot of the times, he just didn’t get a ton of run support. In the first few games, the Astros’ pitching was good, and they are going to get back to those good graces here. Logan Webb isn’t going to be dominant here, and the Astros are going to end up finding success. Back the Astros to pick up the victory and to move above .500.Â
