Mookie Betts has a sore toe, and so the Giants catch a break in that one of the five best players in baseball won’t be in the lineup against them. On the other hand, they will be facing the fifth-best offense in the American League.
On the other other hand, Nathan Eovaldi will be making just his tenth start of the season, he has a 5.89 ERA in his last five games (all starts) and a career 10.86 ERA in six career starts against the Giants. That’s the result of a four-start stretch from 2012-2014 wherein he allowed 31 earned runs.
