The San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves meet Monday in MLB action at Truist Park. Here’s a Braves vs Giants Prediction. This article will include a Braves vs Giants Pick.
The San Francisco Giants are 56-81 on the year and play the Pirates and Mets next. The San Francisco Giants are batting .247 on the season, have a .307 OBP, and have a .405 slugging percentage. The San Francisco Giants’ pitching staff has a 4.35 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Jung Hoo Lee leads the San Francisco Giants with 137 hits and 49 RBI, while Rafael Devers and Willy Adames have combined for 237 hits and 129 RBI.
Anthony Molina gets the ball for the San Francisco Giants, and he is 1-0 with a 2.89 ERA and 3 strikeouts this season. Molina is 0-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 5 strikeouts in his career against the Atlanta Braves.
The Atlanta Braves are 82-55 on the year and play the Nationals and Phillies next. The Atlanta Braves are batting .248 on the season and have a .312 OBP and a .412 slugging percentage. The Atlanta Braves’ pitching staff has a 3.55 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Michael Harris II leads the Atlanta Braves with 147 hits and 77 RBI, while Matt Olson and Ozzie Albies have combined for 270 hits and 146 RBI.
Bryce Elder gets the ball for the Atlanta Braves, and he is 8-7 with a 3.95 ERA and 118 strikeouts this season. Elder is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his career against the San Francisco Giants.
Molina should have some pep in his step for this game as he was traded earlier this month by the Braves. However, he pitches for the Giants, an underachieving team that’s hard to back with confidence. The Braves are rolling as they gear up for the playoffs, and I doubt a bottom-feeding team humbles them in this one-game stint. Edler has been at his best at home this season with a 3.49 ERA and a .237 allowed batting average. Give me the Braves, and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
