Atlanta at San Francisco

This is a long road trip for Atlanta, 3,000 miles to the West Coast playing its third straight road game. They look road-weary, too, losing four straight, and the Braves are 16-36 as a road dog and 12-22 versus teams that average 1.25+ homers per contest. First-place San Francisco is 48-25 at home with great balance everywhere; sixth in runs scored, fifth in on-base percentage, third in slugging, and the pitching staff is second in team ERA (3.27). The team is 19-9 when starter Anthony DeSclafani (3.24 ERA) takes the mound. The Giants are also 80-43 versus NL teams with a batting average of .255 or less, as well as 50-19 against opponents with bullpens that blow 38% or more of save situations. Play San Francisco.
