Atlanta vs San Francisco Stats

Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves started the 2025 season with a seven-game losing streak but managed to get above .500 on May 18 by beating the Boston Red Sox. However, since then, they have gone 3-12, with their losing streak extending to five games after a recent loss in San Francisco. The bullpen has struggled, posting a 0-3 record with a 4.54 ERA and the lineup has accounted for a 96 wRC+ with a .235/.322/.373 triple-slash over the past couple of weeks. Spencer Strider is expected to pitch in their upcoming game against San Francisco, with a 0-4 record and 5.68 ERA this season. Despite his struggles, Strider has had success against the current Giants lineup in the past. Overall, Atlanta is currently ranked 21st in offense, 12th in defense, and has a record of 27-35 this season.

San Francisco Giants Analysis

The San Francisco Giants extended their winning streak to three games after defeating the Braves on Friday. Despite a recent slump in offensive production, the Giants have relied heavily on their bullpen, which boasts an impressive 1.45 ERA over the past two weeks. The team currently sits in third place in the NL West, trailing the Padres by one game and the Dodgers by two. Landen Roupp is set to start on Sunday, coming off a strong performance in his last outing against the Padres. The Giants will need to improve their offensive performance if they want to stay in the race for the NL West title. Their upcoming matchup against the Braves will be a significant test, as Atlanta has recently had success against San Francisco. The Giants currently have a power ranking of 11 and rank 19th in offense, averaging 4.13 runs per game. Defensively, they are ranked third, giving up an average of 3.45 runs per game.

Giants Expected to Overcome Braves in Pitcher's Duel at Oracle Park

Spencer Strider is currently in a period of development and may not be viewed as a reliable option. However, given his impressive track record against the Giants and the favorable conditions at Oracle Park that limit home runs, I anticipate a strong performance from him in this matchup. Meanwhile, Landen Roupp has shown consistent success in his recent starts, setting the stage for a closely contested game at Oracle Park on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have struggled against right-handed pitchers in the past 10 days, with Atlanta posting a 90 wRC+ and San Francisco a 97 wRC+. Considering the strength of the Giants' bullpen, I predict a victory for them in this matchup.
