San Francisco Giants vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Arizona Diamondbacks will send out Dallas Keuchel for tonight's game. Keuchel's a left-handed thrower who has a 2-6 record with an ERA of 7.63. Keuchel had started the season with the Chicago White Sox but pitched himself off the team. Now he's with the Diamondbacks, where he's improved, but expectations still aren't high.
Keuchel has had a 3.75 xFIP in the last 30 days. However, he's also struck out just 19.2% of batters while allowing 8.2% of walks. He's also given up 30.2% of line drives along with 45.3% of hard contact. Plus, he has a BABIP of .346.
The left-hander is a ground ball pitcher, and he's earned 54.7% of ground balls in the last 30 days. That's been the only plus for Keuchel so far this season.
On the other hand, the Giants are hitting a .172 ISO with a wOBA of .302 against lefties in the last 30 days using their projected lineup. San Francisco is also striking out 25.2% of the time against lefties, but knowing Keuchel isn't a strikeout thrower, there's potential for the Giants to limit strikeouts, get more hits and score some runs.

Meanwhile, Logan Webb will get the start for the Giants. He's 7-3 with a 2.98 ERA and clearly the better pitcher in this matchup. Webb has a 3.99 xFIP in the last 30 days with 22.1% of strikeouts and 5.3% of walks allowed. He's also induced 53.8% of ground balls while limiting line drives to 15.1%.
Arizona also has the weaker lineup, hitting a .136 ISO and wOBA of .300 against righties in the last 30 days. The Diamondbacks have hit 45.5% of ground balls and just 20.5% of line drives with their projected lineup.
To be fair, Arizona has been a bit sneaky offensively recently. Webb should shut them down, but I'll just bet against Keuchel and take the Giants with the first five team total, which is sitting at Over 2.5 at +105.
