- ERA: 9.45
- Opponent Batting Average (OBA): .278
- BB/K Ratio: 0.50
San Francisco enters this contest averaging 5.0 runs per game, which lands them at 7th in the league. The Giants have struggled with consistency at the plate this season and are currently sitting in the bottom 10 in overall batting average. The Giants have been hitting even more weakly on the road, but more than half of their home runs have come away from home. San Francisco has been hitting their strongest in afternoon games this season. On the plus side, home runs have been coming at a much higher rate than the league average. San Francisco's problems begin at the plate, though. They are sitting in the bottom 10 in strikeout rate, but their ability to hit for extra bases has often made their offense lethal.
Rockies have had a long season
RHP Chase Dollander is scheduled to take the mound for the Colorado Rockies. This season, Dollander has made 19 starts, posting a 2–11 record with a 6.55 ERA over 88.2 innings pitched. He’s struck out 75 batters while issuing 44 walks, resulting in a 1.56 WHIP. He's been much more vulnerable at home, but he's logged his best month in August, and will look to continue that strong hurling here.
At home, Dollander holds the following splits:
- ERA: 6.47
- Opponent Batting Average (OBA): .331
- BB/K Ratio: 0.41
Colorado enters this contest averaging 2.89 runs per game, which lands them at 30th in the league. The Rockies are much weaker on the road as their batting average falls to .219, and fewer than half of their home runs and extra base hits came on the road. They have hit an average in afternoon games, where home runs sailed at an above-average clip. Home runs were few and far between for the offense last season, and poor plate discipline has seen the Rockies drop to the bottom five in both walks received and strikeouts per game. They will need to keep their plate composure here.
San Francisco ML (4 Units)
The Giants have hit their best both on the road and during afternoon games this season. While home runs may not be prevalent, Teng will remain a wild card until he has more innings under his belt. San Francisco's poise at the plate will allow them to wait for their pitch, and with the Rockies sitting bottom 10 in walks received and strikeouts per game, their inconsistencies could prove fruitful to the Giants' pitching staff.
San Francsisco ML
Under 8.5 (4 Units)
Both of these teams hit weaker in August, relative to their season averages. The Giants are hitting right around one home run per game, but they've fallen to the bottom 10 when it comes to driving runners home. Colorado hasn't been able to figure it out at the plate, and while they have hit better at home, fewer than half of their home run and extra base hits are coming in front of their home crowd. The Giants bullpen has done a solid job in terms of limiting the long ball as well. Expect both offenses to be slow out of the gate.
