Strong Pitching and Improved Offense Make San Francisco Favorable in Matchup Against Struggling Detroit

Webb has consistently delivered strong performances at home and during daytime games, while the Giants' offense has demonstrated significant improvement this month by effectively scoring multiple runs in innings.
