Logan Webb, who has been a reliable starter for the Giants in the past, will make the start on Wednesday. However, Webb has been struggling this season with a 1-5 record and a 4.10 ERA. The San Francisco bullpen has also been struggling, ranking 28th in the league with a 6.40 ERA. Additionally, the Giants' defense has not been performing well, ranked 26th with -12 runs saved. If the Giants are going to pull off an upset, they will need a strong performance from Webb and a better effort from the defense and bullpen.
