Two weeks remain in the regular season and Bryce Eldridge is headed to the majors with the San Francisco Giants. The 20-year-old slugger, a 2023 first‑round pick, posted 25 homers in 100 games between Double‑A and Triple‑A and closed September with a .283 average and just 14 strikeouts in 12 games, showing growing power and improved contact. With Rafael Devers at 1B or DH and Dom Smith sidelined by a hamstring, San Francisco could plug Eldridge into a late‑season role to spark a playoff push.

Giants brass have long downplayed a debut in 2025, but the surge in the standings and a Mets collapse have created a window for a bold move. If Eldridge lands in the lineup, likely at DH or 1B, he could provide a short‑term fantasy jolt in a critical two‑week sprint.

The San Francisco Giants managed to level up their record to .500 with a win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who currently sit 16 games below that mark. The Giants will look to capitalize on this momentum in their upcoming rubber match against a struggling Pirates team, with Andrew Heaney on the mound for Pittsburgh. In contrast, the Giants will counter with Robbie Ray, a former Cy Young winner, boasting a solid 2.85 ERA. This matchup favors San Francisco, bolstered by Ray's impressive stats this season compared to Heaney's lackluster performance.

The odds reflect this lopsided pitcher battle, with the Giants favored at -148 on the moneyline. One interesting prop bet to consider is Wilmer Flores hitting a home run, especially against Heaney. Flores has a remarkable career batting average against him, and although he has a hamstring injury, if he plays, the odds could be worthwhile.
