JEFF PASSAN CALLS THE GINATS “TWEENERS” AT THE DEADLINE RIGHT NOW IN EARLY TRADING DEADLINE LOOK:
The Giants juiced their payroll well past the luxury tax threshold in hopes of hanging in the NL West, and they've been rewarded with abject averageness. Their record hovers around .500. Their run differential is in the negative. And yet they're just a half-game back of the final wild-card spot. The notion of a team guaranteeing more than $300 million in the winter only to turn around and unload at the deadline isn't inconceivable, but so far for the Giants, it still tracks as unlikely. San Francisco's pitching -- particularly a bullpen with Camilo Doval, the Rogers brothers and the magnificent Ryan Walker, whose crossfire delivery is something to behold -- should keep it afloat. But the muddled middle is an ugly place to be, and any additions would necessitate cost-effectiveness, with the Giants' luxury tax payroll already over $250 million and on the cusp of the second threshold. Were they to move players, on the other hand, outfielder Michael Conforto is a reasonable bet, and teams would gladly add LaMonte Wade Jr.'s .470 on-base percentage. (Both are on the injured list with hamstring strains.) In terms of bigger names, third baseman Matt Chapman and left-hander Blake Snell both have opt-outs after this season, and teams automatically devalue players with that sort of optionality, making them likely to stay regardless of San Francisco's tack.

JORDAN HICKS 4-2 2.70 —
Takes second loss
Hicks (4-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 5.1 innings, taking the loss versus the Yankees on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Aaron Judge did most of the damage against Hicks, taking him deep for a three-run home run in the third inning and a solo shot in the sixth. The five runs allowed were the most Hicks has given up in a start this season, though it was a positive to see him issue no walks for the fourth time in 12 outings. Homers are becoming a problem for the right-hander -- he's allowed five of them over his last four starts after giving up just one across his first eight outings.

BOTH JAKE MCCARTHY AND CHRISTIAN WALKER ARE 2-4 CAREER EACH WITH A HR VS. HICKS.
JORDAN MONTGOMERY —
3-3 5.48
Montgomery (3-3) yielded eight runs (six earned) on nine hits and three walks over four innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Montgomery had a 3-0 lead before taking the mound Friday but quickly squandered it by coughing up four runs in the bottom of the first inning. He allowed another run in the second and three more in the fourth. After producing a pair of quality starts in his first two outings with Arizona, Montgomery has registered a rough 6.61 ERA over his last six starts.
