Cleveland Guardians vs San Francisco Giants Pick – 6/19/2025

On June 19, 2025, the San Francisco Giants will host the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park for the third game of their interleague series. The Giants are currently holding a solid record of 41-33, while the Guardians sit at 37-35, making for an interesting matchup as both teams look to improve their standings.

San Francisco's Logan Webb is projected to take the mound, boasting an impressive 2.58 ERA and ranking as the 5th best starting pitcher in MLB according to advanced-stat Power Rankings. Webb's performance this season has been elite, although he has struggled with a high average of 5.7 hits allowed per game. He is expected to pitch around 6.3 innings, allowing approximately 2.2 earned runs, which indicates he should keep the Guardians' offense, ranked 25th overall, in check.

Cleveland will counter with Gavin Williams, who has a decent 3.89 ERA but is considered an average pitcher in terms of performance. Williams has a high walk rate of 12.9%, which could play into the Giants' hands, as they rank 5th in MLB for drawing walks. His projections suggest he will also struggle with control, potentially allowing the Giants to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Despite the Giants' offense ranking 22nd overall, they have the advantage of facing a pitcher who has been less effective under pressure. The Game Total is set at a low 7.0 runs, reflecting expectations for a tightly contested affair. With the Giants favored at -170, they could be poised to extend their winning streak against a Guardians team that has yet to find its rhythm offensively.
