Atlanta Braves vs San Francisco Giants Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/23/25, 8:32 AM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/13/26 at 9:28 AM in MLB Picks

The San Francisco Giants will take on the Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta today. Fans can follow the action via the MLB Network once the game gets underway at 12:15 p.m. EST. Atlanta won Game One on Monday 9-5, chasing Giants starter Hayden Birdsong out before he recorded a single out with five earned runs in the first. However, Gamer Two went to the Giants yesterday, ending their six-game losing streak. Landen Roupp got them on the right foot with five shutout innings to start the game, earning his seventh win of the season.

But if the Giants are going to start a new streak, they’ll need Justin Verlander to do something he has not done all season—win. The former ace has struggled this year, going 0-8 in 16 starts with a 4.99 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and .288 OBA. His struggles have been at their worst on the road, where he is 0-3 in seven road starts with a 5.67 ERA and .318 OBA. Atlanta will give the ball to Spencer Strider to start the day. Strider is 4-7 in 12 starts with a 3.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and .211 OBA. He has done his best work at home, where he is 3-3 in six starts with a 2.75 ERA and .221 OBA.
