San Francisco Giants
The Giants have been on a roll recently, winning five of their last six games. Led by Thairo Estrada and J.D. Davis, the Giants’ offense has been firing on all cylinders. With his impressive .272 batting average and nine home runs, Estrada has consistently contributed to the team’s success. On the other hand, Davis has been a reliable presence at third base, delivering critical hits and driving in runs.
Pitching will play a crucial role in this game, and the Giants have a strong rotation that has been effective throughout the season. With talented pitchers like Kevin Gausman and Logan Webb leading the way, the Giants have managed to keep their opponents’ runs in check. Their ability to stifle the Pirates’ offense will be vital in securing a victory.
Players to watch: Thairo Estrada 2B (GP 70, AB 290, R 46, H 79, 2B 18, 3B 1, HR 9, RBI 31, TB 126, BB 15, SO 77, SB 18, AVG 0.272, OBP 0.327, SLG 0.434, OPS 0.761, WAR 2.1, J.D. Davis 3B (GP 86, AB 289, R 38, H 78, 2B 14, 3B 1, HR 11, RBI 46, TB 127, BB 32, SO 90, SB 1, AVG 0.27, OBP 0.347, SLG 0.439, OPS 0.786, WAR 1.2
Pittsburgh Pirates
On the other hand, the Pirates have had a challenging season so far, with only one win in their last seven games. However, they have a talented lineup that includes Carlos Santana and Bryan Reynolds, who have been producing offensively. Santana’s power and ability to get on base, combined with Reynolds’ consistent hitting, make them a formidable duo.
The Pirates’ pitching staff must step up if they want to turn their fortunes around. With Tyler Anderson and JT Brubaker leading the rotation, the Pirates can potentially shut down the Giants’ offense. The key will be executing their pitches and keeping the ball out of the hitters’ wheelhouse.
Players to watch: Carlos Santana 1B (GP 83, AB 308, R 40, H 71, 2B 21, 3B 0, HR 9, RBI 45, TB 119, BB 37, SO 62, SB 6, AVG 0.231, OBP 0.31, SLG 0.386, OPS 0.697, WAR 1.1, Bryan Reynolds LF (GP 77, AB 295, R 41, H 78, 2B 21, 3B 3, HR 9, RBI 42, TB 132, BB 30, SO 65, SB 8, AVG 0.264, OBP 0.333, SLG 0.447, OPS 0.781, WAR 1.4.
