San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Giants are going to get love because Webb is on the mound, but he’s not the same pitcher on the road as he is at home. Webb is also coming off a brutal July where he allowed 37 hits and 19 runs in 27.2 innings. The Giants have also been trash in the second half of the season and aren’t a team I’m excited to back. Burrows has allowed nine runs in his last 23.1 innings, and the Pirates have played winning baseball over the last couple of weeks. Give me the Pirates, as I don’t like the vibes of the Giants.
