San Francisco Giants vs Detroit Tigers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/10/24, 12:56 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Giants won the first game of the series against the Tigers and will play game two in the afternoon in San Francisco at Oracle Park. At home, the Giants have an excellent 34-23 record, and have won 5 of their last 6 games, all of which were by two runs or more. In addition, the recent schedule has suited them quite well, as it has put the Giants on a four-game series streak against teams that play baseball with fewer than 500. In that span, they swept the Rockies in a four-game series, won a series against the Athletics at home, traveled to Cincinnati and won again, and in Washington they beat the Nationals in three of four games. Friday's game against the Tigers was one of great pitching, so much so that the two teams only gave up nine hits between them.

Webb will be the Giants' starting pitcher on Saturday, starting on July 10th he had 3 bad starts, allowing 7 ER against the Blue Jays and the Rockies and Dodgers each gave him 4 ER in the next two starts. Then on July 31st he showed signs of recovery pitching a great game, pitching the full 9 innings, allowing only 5 hits and striking out 6 in the Giants' 1-0 victory over the Athletics. After that start, he had a last good one against the Nationals where he pitched 5.2 innings and only allowed 1 ER.
