Wednesday BP/Gamethread: Giants @ Braves
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants are playing the Atlanta Braves at 9:15 a.m. PT. Recently, the Giants have struggled, but a recent 9-0 win offers a chance for a series victory. Justin Verlander, seeking his first win with the Giants, has had a tough season, being 0-8 in 16 starts with a 4.99 ERA. He faces Spencer Strider, who has a 3.59 ERA and was impressive in his last outing against the Yankees. Fans are encouraged to enjoy the game and breakfast.
The Giants have been playing very bad baseball lately, but thanks to a 9-0 win on Tuesday, they now have a chance to head home - and rest on an off day - with a series win.
It will likely take a good performance from righty Justin Verlander who, shockingly, is still in search of his first win with the Giants. The three-time Cy Young winner is 0-8 on the year.
Spencer Strider, who makes his 13th start of the season, is 4-7 with a 3.59 ERA, a 3.58 FIP, and 82 strikeouts against 27 walks in 67.2 innings.
He was fantastic his last time out, tossing six shutout innings against the New York Yankees.
