Preview
The San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres will play the 2nd game of the series at the Oracle Park on Saturday. The Padres won the first of the series 8-7.
San Diego Padres
The Padres get here with a 25-14 record and have won 4 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.34 runs per game with a .227 at bat while allowing 3.87 runs. Manny Machado is leading the team with 7 home runs and 24 RBI and a batting average of .363.
Darvish leads the pitching staff with a 3.91 ERA, 37 strikeouts and 4 wins recorded for the Padres.
Probable Pitcher:
Joe Musgrove (4-0, 2.20 ERA) will be on the mound for the Padres in the 2nd game of the series. Musgrove gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings during Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta in 11 innings. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision. In his last 3 starts against the Giants he has a 5.00 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 16.2 innings pitched.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants get here with a 22-16 record and have lost 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 5.11 runs per game while allowing 4.16 runs. Wilmer Flores leads the team with 21 RBI and batting for an average of .267. Joc Pederson has 7 home runs.
Logan Webb leads the team with a 3.48 ERA and 28 strikeouts, recording 5 wins for the Giants.
Probable Pitcher:
Carlos Rodon (4-2, 3.49 ERA) will be on the mound for the Giants in the 2nd game of the series. Rodon was handed the loss during Sunday's 15-6 defeat at the hands of the Cardinals, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings.
BETTING TRENDS
San Diego are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone OVER in 11 of San Diego's last 15 games on the road.
San Francisco are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.
The total has gone OVER in 14 of San Francisco's last 19 games against San Diego.
Prediction
Fifteen runs were scored in the first game of the series between these two teams but I wouldn't expect many runs on Saturday game. Both starters have been great so far this season, Rodon is coming from a bad start but he should be able to get back on track. There's a reason why the total has been set this low, take the under.
PICK: Under 7 (-110)
