It’s time for a new series, and it’s time for the defending champion Atlanta Braves to pay the San Francisco Giants a visit. This series probably won’t be easy. Which means it probably won’t be fun. But it might be!
The Giants are turning to righty Alex Cobb, who is 5-6 with a 3.68 ERA, a 3.00 FIP, and 126 strikeouts to 37 walks in 122.1 innings. He’s up against breakout star Spencer Strider, a righty who has a 10-4 record, a 2.69 ERA, a 1.83 FIP, and 183 strikeouts to 41 walks in 120.2 innings, which have been split between being a starter and a reliever.
The Giants also have two new players in the fold: Willie Calhoun (who starts at designated hitter) and reliever Cole Waites. Austin Dean has been optioned and Tommy La Stella placed on the IL.
