Surviving the first round of rotation shuffling, Gant will look to cement his place as a starter after battling through five innings, allowing three runs, last time out. Though Gant has been inefficient at times, he's been able to find the strikeout pitches he's needed.
RHP
1-1, 2.19 ERA, 28 SO
Nola was not at his sharpest against the Mets on April 13, needing 92 pitches to get through five innings in which he allowed three runs on seven hits. He hasn't had a good feel for his sinker, to date.

RHP
2-1, 1.82 ERA, 39 SO
In his last start, Cole settled in after a rocky beginning to retire the final 15 batters he faced in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. Keep in mind that Cole has a 1.52 ERA in nine starts with catcher Kyle Higashioka, including the playoffs, if that is the pairing.

Bieber was very much his Cy Young self Tuesday in Chicago, going nine scoreless innings with just three hits, one walk allowed and 11 strikeouts against the White Sox. He appears to have mostly ditched his cutter in favor of more sliders.
LHP
2-1, 2.25 ERA, 14 SO
Miley is off to a nice start to his 2021 season, with 11 scoreless innings of work. He's been working brisk, per his trademark, and has kept hitters off balance as he relies heavily on his changeup while spotting his fastball well.

It wasn’t until 5 p.m. CT on Monday when Keuchel, who was scheduled to take the mound on Wednesday, knew he would be starting in place of Carlos Rodón. The left-hander worked five-plus innings, giving the White Sox a chance to win the game in the ninth.

Wood will be activated off the injured list and make his Giants debut vs. Miami. The 30-year-old left-hander was projected to be in the Opening Day rotation, but he was shelved after undergoing an ablation procedure to treat lower back stiffness.
RHP
0-2, 3.32 ERA, 25 SO
The long ball hurt López in his previous two starts, as he surrendered three in 10 2/3 innings. The righty has faced the Giants just once in his career, allowing one run over six frames in a Marlins win on May 29, 2019.

Ray's return from a left elbow contusion was strong, as he allowed two runs over five innings. Now, he'll look to rack up the strikeouts, but controlling the zone early in counts and limiting walks will always be key for the talented lefty.
RHP
0-2, 3.77 ERA, 17 SO
Singer struck out six Angels over five innings on Monday and was charged with four runs (one earned) in the loss, running into some bad luck on defense. Singer is trying settle into a rhythm in his first full season in the Major Leagues.

After throwing eight scoreless innings vs. Arizona on April 7, Senzatela had a tough outing last time out, allowing five runs (four earned) in 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers. He'll look to bounce back in the finale vs. the Mets.

Margevicius will start on just four days’ rest after pitching in a doubleheader on Tuesday, when he gave up six runs and lasted just three-plus innings. Because of the six-man rotation, Mariners starters have been accustomed to one extra day between starts.
