Pitching Matchup

As Slade Cecconi prepares to make his first appearance in the major leagues, the Diamondbacks will be looking to him to make a strong first impression. As a staff, the Diamondbacks have been excellent of late, giving up the 7th fewest runs over their last three games.

Across his 22 outings, Logan Webb has a record of 8-9 and ERA of 3.49. One thing to note, is that he has given up a home run in each of his last three appearances. As he takes the mound, his WHIP sits at 1.10 with an OBP allowed of .276. Webb’s strikeout to walk ratio is 140/24.

The 3-2 defeat against the Red Sox in Logan Webb’s previous start saw him take the loss after allowing three runs across 7 1/3 innings on the mound.

Tough beat for the young D-Backs hurler having to start on the road at Oracle Park against Logan Webb, who has been downright filthy at home this season with a 2.20 ERA. Not much will be expected of Cecconi, as his minor league numbers indicate that he had a rough time transitioning from AA to AAA, where he had a 4-8 record with a lofty 6.38 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. The young right-hander is listed as the 9th best prospect in their farm system.

Arizona has looked really good at times this season, but is in a lull right now on offense, having scored 3, 4, 0, 4 and 2 runs over their last five games, in which they’ve gone 2-4. The poor play doesn’t stop there though. Arizona is 3-9 in their last 12 games.

On the flip side, the Giants have been winning with pitching and pulling rabbits out of hats with a 5-2 record over their last seven games. Unbelievably, six out of seven of those games have all been one-run games. While this may concern you, this is the sign of a good team and good management.

With a rookie on the mound who struggled in AAA pitching for an Arizona team that is cold, versus a veteran starter who pitches lights out at home in Webb, I expected this line to be -225 or higher. I actually view San Fran as a value play at -185.
