The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants meet Tuesday in MLB action at Oracle Park. The San Diego Padres look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The San Francisco Giants look to snap a 5-game losing streak.
The San Diego Padres have scored 17 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 4 straight games. The Padres have won 8 of their last 9 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Manny Machado leads the Padres with 139 hits and 81 RBI, while Jake Cronenworth and Jurickson Profar have combined for 224 hits and 114 RBI. Blake Snell gets the ball, and he is 5-7 with a 4.24 ERA and 116 strikeouts this season. Snell is 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA and 38 strikeouts in his career against the Giants.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 10 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 6 games. The Giants have lost 7 of their last 8 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Wilmer Flores leads the Giants with 102 hits and 60 RBI, while Thairo Estrada and Joe Pederson have combined for 177 hits and 99 RBI. Logan Webb gets the ball, and he is 11-7 with a 3.33 ERA and 130 strikeouts this season. Webb is 2-1 with a 3.14 ERA and 36 strikeouts in his career against the Padres.
The Padres are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. The Giants are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 0-4 in their last 4 overall. The under is 10-4 in Padres last 14 overall. The under is 8-3-1 in Giants last 12 overall. The Padres are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
It feels like both of these offenses are due for a breakout performance, and this feels like a matchup that plays well to offense. Blake Snell has been hittable this year, and he just allowed 6 runs in 3.1 innings against the Guardians. Logan Webb has allowed 31 hits and 17 earned runs in his last 29.1 innings. I’ll take my chances with the over in this matchup.
