Starting Pitching Matchup
Jackson Griffin — RHP, Nationals
- 2026 Season: 4–3, 3.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP
- Last 5 Starts: 3.48 ERA, 1.19 WHIP
- Profile:
- 95–97 mph fastball
- Hard slider + developing splitter
- Generates above‑average swing‑and‑miss
- Matchup Notes: Giants’ lineup is depleted and ranks bottom‑five in MLB in OPS vs RHP. Griffin’s fastball/slider combo is a tough matchup for a San Francisco team lacking right‑handed power.
Robbie Ray — LHP, Giants
- 2026 Season: 2–6, 4.92 ERA, 1.36 WHIP
- Last 5 Starts: 5.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP
- Profile:
- Fastball 92–93
- Slider still sharp but command inconsistent
- High strikeout potential but prone to home runs
- Matchup Notes: Nationals’ right‑handed bats (Abrams, Ruiz, Yepez) match up well vs Ray’s fastball/slider mix. Ray has struggled at Oracle Park this season (5.48 ERA at home).
