T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants.

I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Giants have lost 2 games in a row to the cardinals now and they have lost 5 games in a row in general. They haven't scored more than 2 runs in 4 games in a row now and their offense has been very weak during that time but they are still playing a home game here and I think it is time for them to bounce back here since they do have a really good team still with good pitching too. The Cardinals have been on a role lately with 4 wins in a row now but I think the pitching matchup here is more favorable for the Giants. Logan Webb (3-1, 3.26 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has pitched well in his starts this year. He has given up 3 runs in all of his previous 3 starts but he has also been lasting long into games and I think he is going to give them a great outing against the Cardinals here. Steven Matz (3-1, 4.56 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't had a great start to the year with a few starts where he gave up 4+ runs. He hasn't even faced the strongest lineups either but he did get rocked against the good lineups he faced this year. I think the Giants are going to be a bit desperate for a win here and I expect them to get the job done in their own ballpark here. I like the Giants to break out of their funk and win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Giants.
