Today’s matchup is between the Chicago Cubs (32-23) and the San Francisco Giants (34-21). The Cubs have won 4 of their last 5 games & the Giants have won 4 of their last 5 games.
The Cubs are starting Zach Davies (RHP), on the mound who is 2-2 on the season pitching a 4.65 ERA, 4.86 FIP, .352 wOBA, K% of 12.6%, BB% of 11.7%, 89.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.63 WHIP in 50.1 innings pitched.
The Giants are starting Anthony DeSclafani (RHP), who is 4-2 on the season with a 3.56 ERA, 3.84 FIP, .270 wOBA, K% of 21.6%, BB% of 8.0%, 90.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.15 WHIP in 60.2 innings pitched.
The Cubs are 1st in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Giants are 30th.
On the hitting side, the Cubs have a .320 wOBA and a .322 OBP. The Giants have a .217 wOBA and a .317 OBP. The Cubs have 69 HRs this season while the Giants have 78 HRs.
I think Zach Davies (Cubs) will get into some trouble against the Giants while I think their relieving pitching is so drastic that the Giants will find a way to blow the game. Maybe first 5 innings Giants at -142 but Cubs to win ML?
