After two fairly pathetic losses to the Oakland A’s, the San Francisco Giants are heading south to see if they can get back in the win column against a team that’s even more desperate than they are for wins: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Also known as the Shohei Ohtanis.

The Angels, who have lost six straight games, are still without Mike Trout. But they still have Ohtani, and are desperate to win games and make a playoff push, which is seemingly the only shot they have at re-signing the best player in the world.

Trying to make that losing streak seven games will be Giants righty Logan Webb, who takes the mound for the 24th time this year. Webb is 9-9 on the year, with a 3.45 ERA, a 3.36 FIP, and 145 strikeouts to 25 walks in 148.2 innings. Webb, who leads the league with just 1.5 walks per nine innings, gave up two runs in seven innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks his last time out. It was his fourth time in the last five games that he pitched at least seven innings, and the 13th time that he’s done it this year.

For the Angels it’s lefty Patrick Sandoval, who makes his 20th start. A 26 year old in his fifth season, Sandoval is 6-8 with a 4.11 ERA, a 4.07 FIP, and 84 strikeouts to 45 walks in 103 innings. He gave up two runs in five innings against the Atlanta Braves in his last appearance.

Enjoy the game, Giants fans!
