SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Atlanta Braves, August 12

The Braves have a 3-7 record over their last 10 games. Despite the recent stretch of poor play, this should be a good litmus test for where the Giants are at. San Francisco is off to a good start in July after winning against the Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals, and Tigers. However, that does not inform of where the team is at, but the Braves are a much better matchup.

Snell has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the past five weeks. However, he is coming off of a less impressive performance where he allowed three earned runs in six frames against the Nationals in a 7-4 win. Overall, the lefty pitcher has a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts.

Who it hot?

Tyler Fitzgerald has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the start of July. He is in the midst of a modest, four-game hitting streak. He has collected six hits, including two doubles, in 17 at-bats with five stolen bases during that stretch.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants will be facing off against veteran hurler Chris Sale. Sale is having a resurgent 2024 campaign in the mound with a 2.75 ERA 21 outings for Atlanta. He is looking more like the pitcher who made seven straight All-Star appearances starting in 2012.
