San Francisco Giants
Landen Roupp will be making his season debut for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon. The talented 26-year-old had an impressive rookie season in 2024, posting a 3.58 ERA, a 1.37 WHIP, and a 1-2 record in 50.1 innings of work. He pitched both out of the bullpen and as a starter, showcasing his versatility. Roupp performed exceptionally well on the road, not allowing any runs in 17.2 innings. Although he gave up five runs in 12 innings during spring training, he is ready for his first career meeting against the Astros. The Giants are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season and have made significant additions, including signing Justin Verlander and Willy Adames. They started the season strong by winning two of three games against the Reds, scoring 14 runs and allowing only 10. In the series opener against the Astros, the Giants' pitching held their opponents to just two runs. Heliot Ramos has been a standout player for the Giants, hitting two home runs with four RBIs and a 1.054 OPS in four games. The 25-year-old center fielder had a .792 OPS last season and will look to continue his hot streak against the Astros. San Francisco had a solid offensive performance last year, averaging 4.28 runs per game and posting a 4.10 ERA. Currently ranked 9 in offense, 14 in defense, and with a power ranking of 18, San Francisco has started the season strong with a record of 65-97.
