The San Francisco Giants take on the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday at Oracle Park. In this National League clash, the Giants, currently third in the NL West, will face the high-flying Braves, who are mounting pressure on the New York Mets for the top spot in the NL East. The head-to-head record of these sides over their last 10 meetings is dead even at five wins apiece.
The Giants have had a decent season thus far, having won 68 games at a win percentage of .482. Their overall record of 68-73 puts them just below the San Diego Padres, with whom they are competing for a playoff berth.
The Giants have won five of their last 10 fixtures, including three straight coming into this contest. A solid run of results until the end of the season might see them book a playoff berth, but it still seems unlikely as the Padres are nine games ahead.
"Davy Rockett" - SFGiants
The Braves have been sublime this season, winning 87 games so far with a win percentage of .617. They currently sit in second place in the NL East narrowly behind the Mets. This game has extremely high stakes for Atlanta as they can close the gap on the Mets for that top spot.
The Braves' record this season has been 87-54 with a very impressive 40-29 record away from home, which may be a crucial condition in this matchup. They come into this game on the back of some great results, having won seven of their last 10 fixtures.
"We were down 4 runs with 2 outs in the 9th…." - Braves
