SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Baltimore Orioles, September 19

The Giants are just a hard team to read at this point. They were completely outmatched by the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres last week. However, the bats have woken up against Baltimore. That said, these morning games on the East Coast tend to be a tough challenge for West Coast teams.

Webb was right in the middle of the NL Cy Young conversation through the first five months of the year. However, he has slumped in September, likely due to fatigue. On the year, he has registered a 3.53 ERA, 3.01 FIP, 1.24 WHIP, 7.5 K/9, and a 3.43 SO/W rate in 31 starts with San Francisco.

Who is hot?

Mike Yastrzemski has led off each of the games with a loud swing of the bat to get the Giants on the board. Can he hit a third straight leadoff homer? The veteran bat is putting together a solid finish to the year with a .758 OPS and 17 home runs in 439 plate appearances.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants are facing veteran pitcher Zach Eflin. Eflin is having a nice season, posting a 3.55 ERA in 26 starts split between the Tampa Bay Rays and Orioles. He has pitched to a 4.79 ERA in eight career starts against San Francisco.
