SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineup vs. Chicago White Sox, June 28

SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineup vs. Chicago White Sox, June 28

The Giants got swept by the Miami Marlins earlier in the week, so this is an important series. This week looked like a soft spot in the schedule, and Giants need to take advantage of that. They still can if they pull off a sweep, but a series win works too.

Ray will be making his 17th start of the year. He notched eight wins through the first 12 starts of the season, but he has not recorded a win since the first week of June. The southpaw pitcher was racking up the wins earlier in the year, but that pace has slowed to a halt.

Nevertheless, this has been a very successful season for Ray. He has registered a 2.83 ERA, 3.26 FIP, 1.15 WHIP, 10.1 K/9, and a 2.89 SO/W ratio across 92.1 frames. With numbers like that, the lefty pitcher should merit serious consideration for the All-Star game next month.

Who is hot for the SF Giants?

Willy Adames has gotten off to a rough start in a Giants uniform, but he could be slowing turning a corner. The right-handed bat is finishing his best month yet. In June, he has tallied a .708 OPS with four home runs and 10 RBI in 95 plate appearances.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants are facing off against veteran hurler Adrian Houser. Houser has a 2.27 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 13 walks in 35.2 innings this season. He will throw a low-to-mid 90's fastball with a curveball, changeup, and slider. He throws both a four-seamer and a sinker as his fastball, with the latter being his higher-usage pitch.
