The San Francisco Giants will face the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of their three-game series at home in California on Monday night at 6:45 p.m. ET. The best odds, lines, and picks for tonight's game are here.
The Giants are coming off a 2-1 series win over the Cubs, taking their overall record to 67-73 and still keeping some hope, albeit very slim, of making it to the playoffs. The Giants fizzled out of their good run of form in the second half of the season. They will definitely be looking for a morale-boosting series win at home against the Braves.
The Braves are coming off a 2-1 minor series defeat against the Seattle Mariners, taking their record to 87-53 and relinquishing their first spot in the National League East to the New York Mets. They are a hard-hitting team and have some amazing arms in the bullpen. They have the second best slugging percentage (.446) in the league.
"Chicago, Chicago, it's our kind of townnn" - SFGiants
The Giants will start Alex Cobb on the mound. He has an ERA of 3.68, a 1.29 WHIP, and a W-L of 5-6. This will be his 24th start of the season. He holds a command over his curve balls and fastballs. He possesses an above average K/9 rate and will look to finish on a high.
The Braves will start Spencer Strider on the mound. He has an ERA of 2.69, a 0.97 WHIP, a whopping 183 K's, and a W-L of 10-4. This will be his 19th start of the season, and the youngster has had a phenomenal season thus far. He has won six of his last seven starts and very recently set the regular season record for most strikeouts in a game by punching 16 Rockies hitters in that game.
