The San Francisco Giants, with their 6-10 record, are looking a bit anemic, especially compared to the 9-7 Cincinnati Reds. But hey, someone's got to spice up the midweek MLB schedule. The real action happens on the mound, where Tyler Mahle (0-2, 4.30 ERA) tries to flip his script against Rhett Lowder (1-1, 3.31 ERA). Mahle's got a 1.57 WHIP and 16 strikeouts in 14.2 innings pitched, but we all know WHIP isn't everything – just ask his ailing Giants teammates.
The Giants are dealing with some injury drama, including a day-to-day Luis Arraez and Joel Peguero on the 15-Day IL. That might make their .243 batting average look a tad more impressive. Lowder, meanwhile, is rocking a 1.22 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 16.1 innings pitched. He's got some momentum on his side.
