The San Francisco Giants are struggling in the second half of the season, having won only two of their last ten games, leading to a decline in their playoff hopes. Currently, they sit under .500 at a record of 56-57. To reverse their fortunes, they are turning to ace Logan Webb, who has had a mixed July but still holds a respectable 3.31 ERA. In their upcoming matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are on a mini-streak with seven wins in their last ten games, Webb's performance is crucial. The Pirates, at 49-64, rank last in the NL Central but pose a challenge with Webb's recent inconsistencies. The odds favor the Giants at -158, reflecting their slight edge despite their recent performance.
