Fortunately for Webb, his home ballpark is pitcher-friendly, muting some of the concern about his road success. The Angels are also in a funk, ranking 27th in wRC+ (81) with a 26.3% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Giants are -165 favorites, and the game’s total is eight runs.

Tampa Bay is also third in wRC+ (122) with an 18.1% strikeout rate in the previous 30 days. The Guardians are underdogs (+116), but the game’s total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.
