Blake Snell (0-3, 6.31 ERA) vs. River Ryan (0.0, 0.00)

Blake Snell was a definite disappointment after a difficult year, having a 6.31 ERA, and going 0-3 as a Giant, but has some impressive arm, with (42) Ks in 35.2 innings. Snell’s potential to affect batters and become strikeout kings could be the darling if he can watch out for the pitch count, or else give up early runs. However, he has a high ERA and WHIP, which means that he sends too many players to the plate; this is dangerous against a team like the Dodgers, which scores many points.

River Ryan, a promising talent for the Dodgers, shows a lot of potential coming from a strong performance in Double-A Tulsa last year, which featured a 3.80 ERA and 110 strikeouts over 104.1 innings. Although less experienced, Ryan’s approach to pitching—boasting several plus pitches—might give him an edge as a starter or high-leverage reliever. His debut in MLB this season will be pivotal, and managing his nerves against a professional lineup will be key.

Giants’ Tactical Offensive Play

The Giants hitting an average of .244 and a slugging average of .391 have demonstrated that they are capable of marketing hits but fail to cash these into even more potential scores of the game evidenced by total runs of only 427. Looking at their on-base percentage of .315 they are not a team that is able to get players on base as frequently as one would want meaning that in a match up against a team with good pitchers this could be a serious drawback for them.

Dodgers’ Dominant Slugging

On the other hand the Dodgers have been impressive in the offense having a batting average of .254 and a slugging of .434. Furthermore they have not only scored a cumulative 479 runs against the Giants but also homered 129 ones against the Giants. From the comparison, one can infer that their higher on-base percentage of .334 means that their forwards are better at creating scoring opportunities, which might be the only department that sets them apart in this game.
