Giants vs. Red Sox betting preview: Logan Webb and Sonny Gray both locked in for under play

It was not an overly impressive preseason betting day from me, but it was still profitable.

I took the 1st quarter to be tied in the Chargers and 49ers game.

I wasn't watching as it happened, and I checked the score in the second quarter, seeing it was 17-3.

I figured my bet was toast, but it was 0-0 after the first quarter, giving us a +285 winner.

Unfortunately, the Raiders had a really rough start, so I lost that bet.

We are going to head back to the diamond for today's betting options.

The San Francisco Giants have had a season to forget.

It isn't just one stretch of bad games that has caused them to struggle this season; it has been a full year of bad baseball.

Why is a team with strong talent and some good names on the roster so bad? They are near the bottom of the league in walks, home runs, runs in general, and they have a rough bullpen.

Some of these issues, individually, could be overcome, but with everything combined, the team has struggled.

They are 23 games under .500, and if it weren't for the Rockies, they almost certainly would be last in the division.

One bright spot for the club, almost as always, is today's starter, Logan Webb.

For the season, he is 8-7 with a 3.50 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP.

He is once again racking up innings for the Giants with 139 this season.
