Athletics (38-42) at San Francisco Giants (33-46) — Game Preview
The Athletics bring a 38-42 record to Oracle Park to face the Giants, who sit at 33-46, in a Bay Area matchup between two clubs still searching for consistency in the second half of the season. San Francisco has been the sharper offensive team by average — hitting .257 as a team while the Athletics are at .247 — but the Athletics have generated more power, with 106 home runs against the Giants’ 84. The gap in doubles production is striking: the Giants lead MLB® with 154 doubles on the season, showing a team that makes consistent contact even when the extra-base hits don’t leave the yard. Nick Kurtz has been the engine of the Athletics’ lineup all year, hitting .282 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs out of first base, and his .429 on-base percentage and .540 slugging percentage rank him among the more productive first basemen in the American League. Casey Schmitt has played a similar role for San Francisco, posting a .295 average with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs from left field while carrying the Giants’ offense on stretches when the lineup has struggled around him. The Athletics’ pitching staff owns a 4.95 ERA against San Francisco’s 4.36, an edge that could matter in a tight game at a park that tends to suppress offense.

Players to Watch: Athletics vs. San Francisco Giants
Athletics
Nick Kurtz — 1B. Kurtz is hitting .282 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs in 79 games, making him the clear production leader in the Athletics’ lineup. His .429 on-base percentage and .540 slugging percentage give him a .969 OPS, a number that reflects how often he does damage when the count turns in his favor.
Shea Langeliers — C. Langeliers has matched Kurtz’s home run total with 19 on the season, hitting .265 with 40 RBIs in 72 games behind the plate. His .510 slugging percentage points to a catcher who can carry his own weight in the middle of the order, even with a .331 on-base percentage that doesn’t add much on-base volume.
Tyler Soderstrom — LF. Soderstrom brings a .242 average with 13 home runs and 41 RBIs across 77 games, giving the Athletics a third legitimate run-producer in a lineup that relies heavily on the long ball. His .342 on-base percentage and .466 slugging percentage make him a steady presence even when the extra-base hits come in bunches rather than streaks.
San Francisco Giants
Casey Schmitt — LF. Schmitt is the Giants’ best offensive player this season, hitting .295 with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs in 71 games. His .523 slugging percentage is the highest among the three Giants position players listed tonight, and his .845 OPS makes him the hitter San Francisco most needs to perform in close games.
Rafael Devers — 1B. Devers is hitting .239 with 12 home runs and 38 RBIs in 79 games at first base, numbers that reflect a slugger who hasn’t found his full rhythm yet in San Francisco. His .301 on-base percentage and .438 slugging percentage produce a .739 OPS — serviceable but well below the level that made him one of the more feared bats in the American League for years.
Matt Chapman — 3B. Chapman’s .240 average with 7 home runs and 42 RBIs in 78 games tells the story of a player contributing more through contact and situation than raw power. His .328 on-base percentage and .380 slugging percentage give him a .708 OPS, and the 42 RBIs show he’s been in the right spots in the lineup even when the big hits haven’t come consistently.
