The two teams have split 10 games this season while Atlanta has won 3-of-5 at home against the Giants. Lowe is 7-6 against the Giants in his career with a 2.95 ERA while Bumgarner is making his first start against the Braves.
Atlanta is 4-1 in their last five following a loss and 22-5 in their last 27 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150. The Giants are also 1-5 in their last six playoff road games.
Not to add to the Giants’ excitement is the fact that Mike Winters is behind home plate for this game. The Giants are 0-4 in their last four games where Winters is calling balls and strikes.
