Although Knebel is the opener, I expect Urias to get four innings or more. So my analysis looks closer at Urias. So far this year the 24-year-old Webb and the 25-year-old Urias have faced off against one another three times.

On May 29, the Giants beat the Dodgers 11-6.

Webb (5 IP, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 Ks) got the win, while Urias (5 IP, 11 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 Ks) suffered his worst loss of the season.

On July 21, the Giants beat the Dodgers 4-2.

Both Webb (5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 Ks) and Urias (7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks) pitched well in this game. Ultimately, a ninth inning three-run homer off the bat of Wilmer Flores helped secure a Giants win.

On July 27, the Giants beat the Dodgers 2-1.

Once again both Webb (6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks) and Urias (5 2/3 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 Ks) pitched well in this game. The Giants scored the winning run from third on a (very) wild throw from Dodgers' first baseman Cody Bellinger.

Webb has been solid and the Giants are 54-27 at home this season. The real question will be is the moment too big for Webb.
