He is 10-11 with a 3.23 ERA in 266 career appearances for him, with four starts, with the Detroit Tigers, the Milwaukee Brewers and the LA Dodgers.

While the Giants have won games with few runs and the Dodgers had uneven victories, each team had their day off to choose their pitcher.

San Francisco right-hander Logan Webb will start tonight. The 24-year-old Webb had five hits and struck out 10 in 7 2/3 innings of a 4-0 victory in Game 1 on Friday. He was 11-3 with a 3.03 ERA in 27 appearances this season.

The big NLDS game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and their arch rival the San Francisco Giants comes to an end tonight at Oracle Park with Game 5 deciding.

The winner will advance to the best of seven NLCS to face the Atlanta Braves with a trip to the World Series to be defined.

The Dodgers tied the series and forced a Game 5 with a 7-2 victory in Game 4 on Tuesday. This is how you can see the decisive game. It will be right-hander Logan Webb who will take the mound for the Giants. Meanwhile, the Dodgers will use right-hander Corey Knebel as a starter and left-hander Julio Urías is expected to follow Knebel out of the bullpen.

Knebel played the same starting role four times during the regular season, allowing one run in a total of 5 2/3 innings of work. Knebel made an appearance in this NLDS when he pitched the seventh inning of Game 2, allowing no runs and striking out two. In Game 1, Webb limited the Dodgers to five hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out 10. Urias started Game 2 and limited the Giants to one run in five innings.

Mexican pitcher Julio Urías has been shooting extremely well in this 2021 MLB campaign, and among other numbers, his 5.3 barrel percentage was the highest of his career.

Julio Urías has an arsenal of five pitches (fastball, curveball, change, sinker, slider) and his fastball has been the most impacted pitch of him, since he has a batting average of .277 and a slugging percentage of .484.

His great level and ability are not in doubt, but as he manages Dave Roberts his pitchers it will be interesting to see how long he keeps him on the mound.

Logan Webb has been shooting very well this entire season, even though his muzzle velocity is 88.1 MPH, the slowest of his career. Webb also throws five different pitches (sinker, slider, changeup, fastball, cutter) and his slider has been his best pitch this season as he has a .156 batting average with a slugging percentage of .231.

With the rest he had in this series, tomorrow a great performance is expected from him on the mound against the powerful offense of the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive strong and highly motivated as they have leveled the NLDS and are in a win or go home situation. They will send Mexican pitcher Julio Urías to the mound tonight, who pitched in Game 2 of this division series and won when he pitched five innings and allowed one run on three hits, with one walk and five strikeouts.

The San Francisco Giants have been one of the best teams in recent memory and are just one game away from going home on vacation. They'll have pitcher Logan Webb pitching tonight, who is coming off a big win in Game 1 of the series as he took the win with 7.2 scoreless innings and allowed five no-walk hits and 10 strikeouts.

An iconic rivalry reaches a new height.
