Kyle Purviance likes Willy Adames to perform well against Marcus Stroman, supported by Adames' strong head-to-head numbers: in 23 career at-bats he has compiled a .474 average, hit multiple home runs, only four strikeouts, and six singles. Purviance specifically noted Stroman's strikeout decline and the Giants' lineup tendency to make consistent contact, which should further boost Adames' opportunities. Purviance clearly stated he'll closely consider Adames' player props for this matchup, particularly total bases.

Guy Boston identified Willy Adames as a strong choice for under 2.5 hits, runs, and RBIs against Nick Martinez and Cincinnati. Boston detailed Adames' weak fit with Martinez's pitch arsenal: he struggles significantly against the fastball (Martinez's most common pitch), cutter, and curveball. He only finds moderate success against Martinez’s secondary pitch, the changeup. Given the high total line (2.5), Boston emphasized that it would require a particularly strong outing from Adames to hit the over, which he finds improbable due to a poor matchup in terms of pitching style.
