The Atlanta Braves are viewed as exiting their competitive window while facing the San Francisco Giants, who are struggling with a five-game losing streak. After a strong start to the season, the Giants have a poor overall performance, ranking low in offense despite a solid pitching ERA of 3.60. Since June 1, their hitters have performed poorly, with a batting average of .199 and wRC+ of 68, both ranking as the worst in baseball during this period. Casey Schmitt has emerged as their best hitter, but the overall batting performance remains unimpressive.
Since June 1, The Giants are hitting .199/.279/.334 (68 wRC+) with runners in scoring position. The batting average, on-base percentage, and wRC+ are the worst in baseball during that stretch.
The Atlanta Braves appear to be exiting their competitive window with the current roster core and in this three-game home series at Truist Park they have the chance to alleviate some of that angst.
Another alarming 'Since June 1' stat: Casey Schmitt has been the team's best hitter (126 wRC+), if you set the minimum at 100 plate appearances.
The culprit for the Giants not having such a great standing despite a great team ERA (3.60 is 3rd-best in MLB) is because they're middle of the pack when it comes to walking hitters and striking them out.
