<h2>Saturday's Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/40145&quot; title="Alex Cobb Pitching Game Logs">Cobb</a> is 5/11 on quality starts this season. Last Sunday, Milwaukee got him for seven runs and seven hits in just four innings of a 7-5 San Francisco loss. But over his four starts previous to that, he held opponents to five runs and 23 hits through 24 2/3 innings.</p>
<p>The Giants are 7-4 with Cobb this season, and that's about what they should be, based on his performances.</p>
<p>This will be Cobb's first start against Baltimore since 2017, when he was with Tampa Bay, and that's a long time ago.</p>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/457094&quot; title="Kyle Bradish Pitching Game Stats">Bradish</a> is 4/9 on quality starts this year and three for his last four. Last Sunday, he held Texas to one run and four hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 3-2 Orioles win. And over his last four starts, he's allowed just seven runs - six earned - and 18 hits through 24 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>Baltimore is 6-3 with Bradish this season, although that's probably a game better than it should be.</p>
<p>This will be Bradish's first career start against San Francisco.</p>
