Spencer Strider will be on the mound for the Atlanta Braves, and needs to set the tone. Strider is 0-4 with a 5.68 ERA in 2025, but he is capable of being a top pitcher in the National League.

Matt Olson is leading the Braves with 13 home runs this season; however, the rest of the lineup has been struggling. Atlanta has failed to come up with big hits, but look for that to change on Sunday.

Landen Roupp will for the San Francisco Giants, with a 3-4 record and a 3.18 ERA. Roupp needs to remain consistent on the mound as he will face a desperate team.

Matt Chapman leads the Giants with 12 home runs, but they don't do a ton of damage on offense. Look for the Braves to break through and snap a long losing streak.
