10* Giants (ASSASSIN)

Only 1.5 games separated these two teams entering this series, but Atlanta has now won three in a row. Note that the Giants are in fact 7-2 in their last nine after three or more straight home losses. The Braves haven't had a four-game road sweep in San Francisco in over 68 years, and we don't see that changing tonight, as we look for the home side to draw the line in the sand and to find a way to get the job done on Thursday night. Logan Webb (10-8, 3.22 ERA) gets the call for the Giants, and he's 3-0 with a tiny 0.83 ERA over his last three outings. He dominated the Braves earlier in the season, limiting them to two runs over seven innings on July 4th. Overall Webb is 3-1 with a 2.98 ERA in seven career starts vs. Atlanta. The visitors counter with Max Fried (7-6, 3.56), who is 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Giants. But note that Fried has looked "off" of late since returning from the IL, allowing ten runs and walking eight over just eight innings of work. Look fro Webb to deliver the goods and for San Francisco to step up and avoid the humbling sweep!
