Braves @ Giants Analysis & Breakdown

Blake Snell has posted a 1.15 ERA over his L6 starts.

One of the most talked about story lines of today, Jorge Soler returns to Oracle Park.

Soler just signed a 3 year $42 million contract with the Giants in February this year. Then, after just 93 games in a Giants uniform, he was traded to the Atlanta Braves.

He returns to the Braves after playing just 55 games with the Franchise back in 2021. That run, however, was capped off with a World Series win and a World Series MVP for Soler. After capturing the MVP, Soler signed with Miami, where he spent two seasons before moving to the Bay Area.

Outside of the Soler story lines, we’ve got two absolute studs on the mound for both teams today. Blake Snell will be making his 13th start of the season and he’s catching fire at the right time.

Snell’s had 6 starts since July 1st and in those 6 games he’s posted a 1.15 ERA, given up just 12 total hits, and just 5 runs; with the Giants winning 5 of these 6 starts.

Opposite Snell will be Atlanta’s Ace, Chris Sale. He’s been just as good this year, posting a 2.75 ERA this year and a 13-3 record to boost.

Jorge Soler has 4 home runs in 10 games with the Braves.

It’s the biggest narrative today, against one of the toughest pitchers playing today; of course we’re tapping in at plus money.

Soler’s batting a career 0.333 against Snell, and he’s been dominant at Oracle Park when playing as a visitor. He’s posted a 0.317 batting average with 2 home runs in 12 career road games at Oracle.

He’s been dominant with the Braves through 10 games, posting a 0.297 batting average and hitting 4 home runs in his L3 games. Coming to San Francisco from Coors Field is a little tough but with the opportunity to go against his former team, I love Soler tonight.

With such a low total, we had to go to a pitching prop. Snell’s going to a be a popular choice tonight with how how’s played over his last 6 starts, but I’m turning to another stud; Chris Sale.

Sale’s posted a 2.65 ERA over his L6 starts and he’s thrown 9 or more strikeouts in 4 of those games. He’s faced off with the Giants once already this year, finishing with 9 strikeouts in 6 innings.

The Giants are striking out at a 28.5% rate against lefties and they rank 4th in strikeouts against left handed pitchers; meaning they strikeout the 4th most of all teams.

He’s been fantastic this year for Atlanta and I expect nothing to change tonight against the Giants.
