Sacramento comes into this matchup on a one-game losing streak, but has won three of their last five games prior to their series opener against San Francisco. In a narrow 6-5 defeat against the Tampa Bay Rays, Brent Rooker provided some offensive spark for the Athletics, going 1-for-5 at the plate and delivering a home run. His big hit accounted for both a run scored and an RBI for his team. Rooker has been a driving force in Sacramento’s lineup this season, leading the club with 18 home runs, making him their top power hitter so far. Right behind Rooker in the home run race is Tyler Soderstrom, who has tallied 14 homers to date, ranking second on the team. Soderstrom has also been the most productive at bringing runners home, topping the club with 48 RBIs which is a testament to his ability to deliver in clutch moments. Jacob Wilson, meanwhile, has been Sacramento's most consistent hitter, boasting a team-leading .339 batting average. His knack for getting on base has been critical to the Athletics’ offensive efforts. Over their last five games, Sacramento’s bats have come alive, averaging 5.4 runs per game. Despite this recent offensive surge, the team still faces a tough road ahead, currently trailing Seattle by ten and a half games for the third and final wild card spot in the standings. Overall this season, the Athletics’ offense averages 4.1 runs per game.

San Francisco enters this game on a one-game winning streak, but has dropped four of their last five games prior to their series finale against Arizona and series opener against Sacramento. In their extra-inning 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants relied on pitcher Landen Roupp, who worked four innings, giving up five hits and two earned runs. Roupp also issued four walks and struck out four batters during his outing. Offensively, Heliot Ramos currently sits atop the Giants’ home run leaderboard, having hit 13 long balls this season. Matt Chapman follows closely behind as the team’s second-highest home run hitter with 12. When it comes to driving in runs, Wilmer Flores leads San Francisco, having tallied 55 RBIs to this point in the year. Ramos isn’t just a power threat, he also paces the team in batting average, hitting at a .275 clip. Throughout their last five games, the Giants’ pitching staff has struggled, surrendering an average of 4.6 runs per contest. As a result, the team currently finds itself just half a game out of the third NL wild card spot, trailing both San Diego and St. Louis. Overall, San Francisco’s offense scores an average of 4.1 runs per game.

San Francisco’s offense has been struggling lately, and with the All-Star break quickly approaching, they’re hoping to get back on track and find their rhythm at the plate. In contrast, Sacramento’s offense has recently been performing well, creating opportunities to win games and build some positive momentum that they’ll try to carry forward. On the mound, San Francisco will send Logan Webb to start. Webb has put together a solid season so far, posting a 7-6 record and an impressive 2.61 ERA, making him a bright spot for the team. Meanwhile, Sacramento’s starter will be Luis Severino, who has faced a tough year with a 2-9 record and a 5.09 ERA, struggling to find consistency on the mound.
