Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Cubs are always worth a look with one of the best young arms on the mound in Imanaga. However, I usually don’t bet against Webb at Oracle. In 82 starts at Oracle, Webb has a 2.77 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 490 strikeouts in 519 innings. Webb is basically a Hall of Fame pitcher when he takes the mound at Oracle. This year, through 87.2 innings at Oracle, Webb has a 2.77 ERA and .254 allowed batting average with 94 strikeouts. The Giants are also having a hell of a week currently. Give me the Giants.
