The San Francisco Giants have a 33-47 record this season and are sitting in the 4th place of the NL West. They have a 16-21 home record and are coming off a 9-6 home defeat against the Athletics. They will face the Diamondbacks and the Rockies next.
The Giants have a .256 batting average this season, .309 OBP and .419 Slugging percentage. San Francisco’s pitching staff has a 4.42 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. Jung Hoo Lee is the team’s best hitter with a .332 batting average. Matt Chapman leads the team in RBI with 42, while Casey Schmitt adds a team-high 16 home runs.
Trevor McDonald (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants, and he has a 2-5 record, 4.93 ERA and 1.34 WHIP.
The Atlanta Braves have a 48-31 record this season and are sitting in the 1st place of the NL East. They have a 24-17 road record and are coming off a 5-2 road defeat against the Padres. They will face the Cardinals and the Mets next.
The Braves have a .251 batting average this season, .314 OBP and .416 Slugging percentage. Atlanta’s pitching staff has a 3.42 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Michael Harris II is the team’s best hitter with a .306 batting average. Matt Olson leads the team in RBI with 52, adding a team-high 20 home runs.
Reynaldo Lopez (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Braves, and he has a 3-1 record, 3.50 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.
The Giants are 8-1 in their last 7 meetings against the Braves and have won their last three visits in Los Angeles.
In this Braves vs Giants Prediction, the Braves are coming as -125 road favorites. I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup, as Lopez has not played since April and McDonald has been in bad form with 3+ earned runs in three of his last four starts, while having a 6.10 home ERA. But the Braves have both a superior offense, ranking 7 th in the league while the Giants are just 23 rd , while having the best bullpen in baseball, so I like them to get the job done on the road.
