An ultra-critical four-game series is about to get started between the San Francisco Giants, and the team they trail for the final Wild Card spot, the Atlanta Braves (albeit with a few teams in between). The Giants postseason picture could look fairly rosy after this series, or it could look fairly grim. Thankfully for the Giants, the Braves have been really struggling lately, so there’s an opportunity to strike.
And my goodness do we have a fun pitching matchup. For the Giants, it’s lefty Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner and one-time All-Star, who is rounding into form following a tough and injury-riddled start to the year.
