Pitching Matchup

San Francisco Giants - Logan Webb

Logan Webb is 8-8 with a 4.21 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 149.2 innings. The right-hander has allowed 136 hits and issued only 38 walks while recording 119 strikeouts. Webb has also limited the long ball, allowing 11 home runs across his workload. His walk rate has helped keep the WHIP down despite an ERA above 4.00, and his 149.2 innings represent a substantial body of work heading into September.

New York Mets - Christian Scott

Christian Scott is 4-4 with a 3.80 ERA and 1.31 WHIP through 94.2 innings. The right-hander has recorded 113 strikeouts while allowing 80 hits, 44 walks and 10 home runs. Scott’s strikeout total stands out, with more than one strikeout per inning across his 2026 workload. His 44 walks have raised the WHIP, but the 3.80 ERA shows that he has limited the damage across his first 94.2 innings this season.
