Braves at Giants projected starters
RHP Kyle Wright vs. RHP Jakob Junis
Wright (17-5, 3.23 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.15 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 158 2/3 IP.
- Allowed 8 ER in 4 IP at Oakland Athletics last Tuesday but had notched a 1.04 ERA over 4 starts prior
- Figures to see a significant left lean in the S.F. order, and that could well be a problem as he has allowed a .799 OPS against lefty bats and a .637 OPS against right-handed ones over his career
Junis (4-5, 3.98 ERA) has appeared in 19 games, making 15 starts. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 through 92 2/3 IP.
- Owns a 5.85 ERA as a starter since July 30
- Has clocked a 3.56 ERA at home in 2022
- Owns would-be career-best numbers in ERA, WHIP and BB/9
- Does have a history of September slides: has allowed an .824 OPS over 21 career September games

Braves at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Braves 4
Money line
Wright is in an under-the-radar beatable spot. Junis has fared well at home and has pitched better of late than his surface line shows.
TAKE SAN FRANCISCO (+135). Peg the play as a partial-unit one until such a point as when a +140 becomes available.
Run line/Against the spread
Back the GIANTS +1.5 (-120).
Over/Under
This contest is tabbed for a double-digit wind aiding the batters. Tab the OVER 7.5 (-120) with just a sliver of a lean.
