The San Francisco Giants are on a roll. With yesterday’s win over the Kansas City Royals at Oracle Park, they have now won 4-straight and sit just 3 games back of the LA Dodgers and the San Diego Padres for the top spot in the NL West. Tonight they will continue their 3-game series with KC and will have their young gun, Logan Webb, toeing the rubber. Webb is 5-2 with a 3.77 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The Royals have the worst record in baseball, at 20-40, and are just 8-19 on the road. Tonight could be a long night for KC. Southpaw Kris Bubic is expected to get the nod for the Royals and he is winless, at 0-3, with a bloated ERA of 9.13 and a 2.03 WHIP. The Giants just swept the Los Angeles Dodgers, are 6-1 in their last 7 against a left-handed starter, and are not going to get pushed around at home by the bottom-feeding Royals.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
