Pittsburgh Pirates vs San Francisco Giants MLB Preview
Giants' starting pitcher Logan Webb was walloped in July (7.36 ERA), but his season-long metrics are still strong (3.61 xERA, 2.72 xFIP, 20.2% K-BB, 30.3% CSW).
Even better, Webb almost always performs better at home (career 2.91 xFIP, 18.2% K-BB) compared to on the road (career 3.40 xFIP, 15.4% K-BB).
The Pirates are the softest matchup Webb has faced in six weeks (81 wRC+ vs. RHP in 2025, 65 wRC+ vs. RHP over the past month).
In mid-June, he shut down the similarly ranked Guardians lineup to the tune of seven one-run innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.
These are two strong bullpens — San Francisco’s bullpen has been elite over the past month (3.51 xFIP, second), while Pirates closer David Bednar remains one of the NL's best (2.37 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, 33.1% K).
Additionally, Ron Kulpa is a pitcher-friendly umpire (career 308-230-26, 57.2% win, 9.9% ROI).
I project 6.7 runs for this game and would bet the Under 7.5 at -122 or better.
