One area working in San Francisco's favor is its ability to put the ball in play consistently. The Giants have collected 642 hits and carry a .258 batting average, both strong figures based on the data provided. However, the pitching numbers remain a concern, particularly the 4.52 ERA and .252 opponent batting average.
Atlanta Continues Strong Season at Home
Atlanta enters Tuesday's matchup with a 46-25 overall record and an impressive 22-11 home mark. The Braves have dropped four of their last five games, recently losing to New York by scores of 8-1 and 7-5 while also recently losing to Chicago by scores of 2-1 and 6-5 in 10 innings. Their lone victory during that stretch was a 3-1 win over New York.
The Braves are batting .254 as a team with 359 runs, 613 hits, and 95 home runs. Atlanta owns a .320 on-base percentage and a .424 slugging percentage.
