In their last game, they finished with eight hits, with Heliot Ramos, Matt Chapman, and Patrick Bailey hitting home runs.

The Giants are currently ranked 10th in the power rankings, with a strong offense and defense.

Washington Nationals Analysis

The Washington Nationals have recently been on a hot streak, winning their fourth straight game against Atlanta and setting themselves up for a series win after a rainout. Despite their overall record of 22-27, the Nationals are fourth in the NL East, trailing the Phillies by nine games. In their game against Atlanta, the Nationals had standout performances from players like James Wood and Dylan Crews, who hit a home run. Pitcher Mitchell Parker earned the win, and Kyle Finnegan secured his 15th save. Unfortunately, Crews was later placed on the IL due to an oblique strain. The Nationals will turn to MacKenzie Gore for the series finale, as he looks to improve upon his 2-4 record and 3.67 ERA. The Nationals have a power ranking of 24 and are ranked 13th in offense, scoring an average of 4.33 runs per game. In their previous matchups, San Francisco went 1-2 against Washington.

San Francisco Giants have the edge over the Washington Nationals in upcoming matchup

The San Francisco Giants have a slight advantage due to their off day on Thursday, despite the cross-country travel. On the other hand, the Washington Nationals were in home action against Atlanta on Thursday, so it remains to be seen how this will impact their bullpen. Gore currently leads the NL in strikeouts, with a whiff rate exceeding his previous career high by more than three strikeouts per nine innings. However, he has struggled with issuing walks and giving up hits in recent outings. In contrast, Roupp may not pitch deep into games but has shown strong performance in his recent starts. Ultimately, the Giants are predicted to come out on top in this matchup.
