Houston Astros (60-59) at San Francisco Giants (49-69) — Game Preview
The Houston Astros (60-59) visit Oracle Park to face the San Francisco Giants (49-69) on August 10, 2026, with Houston still holding the top spot in the American League West despite hovering right around a break-even record this summer. Houston’s lineup has out-slugged San Francisco’s across the season, with the Astros’ 161 team home runs well outpacing the Giants’ 131, even as the two clubs sit within four points of each other in team batting average at .245 and .249.
Yordan Alvarez has turned into the most productive bat in Houston’s lineup, hitting .322 with 35 home runs and 86 RBIs, and his .624 slugging percentage makes him a threat in the middle of the Astros’ order that San Francisco has to navigate all night. Christian Walker backs him up with 22 home runs and 67 RBIs of his own, giving Houston a second hitter capable of turning a close game into a laugher.
San Francisco counters with Rafael Devers, who has 24 home runs and 64 RBIs at first base, and Willy Adames, who has added 19 home runs and 48 RBIs from shortstop despite a .222 batting average. The Giants sit 21 games back in the NL West, a measure of how far this rebuild still has to go against a Houston club fighting to hold its own divisional lead down the stretch.

Players to Watch: Houston Astros vs. San Francisco Giants
Houston Astros
Yordan Alvarez — DH. Alvarez is hitting .322 with 35 home runs and 86 RBIs, making him the clear engine of Houston’s offense from the designated hitter spot. His .435 on-base percentage and .624 slugging percentage pair patience with power, forcing opposing pitchers into careful counts all night.
Christian Walker — 1B. The first baseman has quietly put together a power season of his own, socking 22 home runs and driving in 67 runs at a .240 clip. He backs that pop with a .456 slugging percentage, giving Houston a second thumper behind Alvarez in the middle of the order.
Jeremy Peña — SS. Peña carries the highest batting average among Houston’s regulars at .297, with a .357 on-base percentage to match. He has chipped in 13 home runs and 37 RBIs from the shortstop spot, adding a contact-first complement to the power bats ahead of him in the lineup.
San Francisco Giants
Jung Hoo Lee — RF. Lee gives the Giants their most reliable contact hitter, batting .298 with a .334 on-base percentage from right field. His .440 slugging percentage rounds out a complete offensive profile at the top of San Francisco’s order.
Rafael Devers — 1B. Devers has emerged as the power source in San Francisco’s infield, launching 24 home runs and driving in 64 runs while playing first base. He is hitting .249 on the season, giving the Giants a legitimate threat in the middle of the order even in a difficult year at the plate.
Willy Adames — SS. The shortstop supplies pop of his own further down the lineup, adding 19 home runs and 48 RBIs despite a .222 batting average. His .413 slugging percentage shows the power is real even when the batting average lags behind.
