The San Francisco Giants (52-49) aim to snap their six-game losing streak as they face the Atlanta Braves (44-55) in Tuesday’s matchup at Truist Park. After a disastrous series opener where the Giants’ Hayden Birdsong failed to record a single out, San Francisco turns to Landen Roupp to right the ship against Atlanta’s rookie Davis Daniel. I’ve identified some compelling betting angles in this matchup, as the pitching probables create an intriguing dynamic between two teams heading in opposite directions despite Monday’s result.

Sharp Money Analysis: Where Pro Bettors Are Placing Their Wagers
The line has shifted slightly toward Atlanta since opening, despite the Giants being a small favorite. The total has also moved up half a run from 9 to 9.5, though the juice on the under suggests resistance to further upward movement. This indicates some professional money seeing value in the under despite Monday’s high-scoring affair. With both teams looking to reset after allowing a combined 14 runs yesterday, smart money appears to be recognizing the pitching upgrade on both sides tonight.
Pitching Matchup: Landen Roupp vs Davis Daniel – Who Has the Edge?
San Francisco Giants: Landen Roupp (6-6, 3.27 ERA)
- Posting a solid 3.27 ERA across 96.1 innings this season
- Strikeout-to-walk ratio is concerning (89:41), but has limited damage effectively
- Has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in 14 of his 16 starts this season
- 1.45 WHIP indicates he’s been pitching with traffic on the bases but escaping jams
Atlanta Braves: Davis Daniel (0-0, 1.80 ERA)
- Small sample size (5 innings) but has impressed in limited MLB action
- Allowed just 1 earned run with a 1.00 WHIP in his MLB debut
- Posted a 3.42 ERA in Triple-A before his promotion
- Control has been solid with just 3 walks in his first MLB appearance
Advantage: Slight edge to Roupp based on experience, but Daniel’s impressive debut makes this closer than expected. Roupp’s ability to limit damage despite traffic on the bases will be tested against an Atlanta lineup that showed signs of life yesterday.
Bullpen Breakdown
The Giants’ bullpen was forced to cover all nine innings in Monday’s game after Birdsong’s early exit. Tyler Rogers (1.54 ERA) and Randy Rodriguez (2.76 ERA) have been excellent, but both may be unavailable after recent usage. Camilo Doval pitched an inning yesterday and has struggled with consistency this season. The Braves’ bullpen has been a weakness all year, ranking in the bottom third of MLB with a 4.65 ERA. After using three relievers yesterday (Bummer, Montero, and De Los Santos), they’ll need to piece together the later innings carefully if Daniel can’t work deep into the game. Both bullpens are vulnerable, but the Giants’ group has been more reliable when their key arms are rested.
Key Betting Trends & Team Statistics That Matter
- Giants have lost six straight games, being outscored 45-19 during this skid
- Braves are 26-24 at home this season despite their overall 44-55 record
- San Francisco is 24-29 in road games this season
- The Giants have gone under the total in 6 of their last 10 road games
- Atlanta is 37-19 when recording at least 8 hits in a game
- Giants are 26-10 when they out-hit their opponents
- Willy Adames is 10-for-38 with 4 home runs in his last 10 games
- Ronald Acuña Jr. is 11-for-36 with 4 doubles, a triple and 4 home runs in his last 10 games
Willy Adames Finding His Groove: Can He Stay Hot?
After a slow start to his Giants tenure, Willy Adames is finally showing signs of the player San Francisco thought they were getting with their franchise-record contract. Coming off a 4-hit game that included a home run and two doubles, Adames looks locked in at the plate. His recent success could be the catalyst that helps the Giants snap their losing streak, especially against a Braves team that’s been vulnerable to right-handed power. With 14 home runs on the season and improved plate discipline in recent games, Adames presents a significant threat in the middle of the Giants’ order.
Truist Park Factor: How the Venue Influences Today’s Game
Truist Park has played as a slightly pitcher-friendly venue in 2025, with a runs factor of 0.977 and a home run factor of 0.929. The dimensions (335′ to left, 400′ to center, 325′ to right) aren’t extreme in any direction, but the park tends to suppress offense compared to league average. Tonight’s weather forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-80s with moderate humidity and light winds, conditions that slightly favor pitchers. After yesterday’s offensive outburst, I expect the park factors to reassert themselves tonight, helping to keep the scoring more contained with two solid starting pitchers on the mound.

Expert Prediction & Best Bets for Giants-Braves Showdown
Primary Play: Under 9.5 Runs (-122)
After yesterday’s 9-5 game, the market might be overreacting to the offensive output. Landen Roupp has been a steady presence for the Giants, while Davis Daniel impressed in his MLB debut. Both bullpens are taxed after yesterday’s game, which actually works in favor of the starting pitchers getting a longer leash. Truist Park’s slight pitcher-friendly tendencies provide additional support for the under. With both teams likely focusing on cleaner defensive play after yesterday’s sloppiness, I expect a more controlled game. I’d play this down to 9 runs at similar odds.
Strong Value Play: Willy Adames Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110)
Adames is seeing the ball extremely well right now, coming off a 4-hit performance that included three extra-base hits. He’s batting .263 with four home runs over his last 15 games, showing signs that he’s breaking out of his season-long slump. With Davis Daniel making just his second MLB start, Adames should have opportunities to capitalize on mistakes. This prop has hit in four of his last six games, and at plus-money odds, it offers substantial value.
Worth Considering: Giants Moneyline (-110)
Despite their six-game losing streak, the Giants have the more proven starter on the mound and a lineup that showed life yesterday. The Braves are playing better at home (26-24) than on the road, but they’re still 11 games under .500 overall. With Landen Roupp’s ability to limit damage and the Giants’ desperation to snap their losing streak, I see value in backing San Francisco as a slight road favorite. The key will be getting quality innings from Roupp to avoid taxing their depleted bullpen further.
Player Props Worth Targeting in Today’s Matchup
| Player | Prop | Odds | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Willy Adames | Over 1.5 Total Bases | +110 | ★★★★☆ |
| Ronald Acuña Jr. | To Record a Run | -115 | ★★★☆☆ |
| Landen Roupp | Over 4.5 Strikeouts | -125 | ★★★☆☆ |
| Matt Olson | To Record an RBI | +140 | ★★★★☆ |
| Rafael Devers | Under 1.5 Total Bases | -120 | ★★☆☆☆ |
Final Thoughts: Pitching Takes Center Stage After Monday’s Slugfest
After Monday’s offensive display where the Giants’ starter couldn’t record an out, expect a return to normalcy with Roupp and Daniel on the mound. Both teams have reasons to play a more controlled game—the Giants desperately trying to stop their slide and the Braves looking to build momentum. The bullpen situation for both teams suggests longer leashes for the starters, which should help keep scoring contained. While individual hot hitters like Adames and Acuña remain threats, the overall game environment points toward a lower-scoring affair than the market anticipates.
Score Prediction: Giants 5, Braves 3
