San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants MLB Game Preview

Bottom of the National League West and horribly out of form, it hasn’t been the best of seasons for the San Francisco Giants. They travel to Petco Park to take on a Padres team who are on a 5-2 run, though it would require a miracle second half of the campaign for them to make the play-offs.

The first of a three game series between the SF Giants and the SD Pads. takes place on Friday and fans will be eager to see which of the National League West’s bottom two will come out on top. Read more for our match analysis and prediction.

Key Players to Watch

The Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija has had 10 pitching losses this season, he is just 1 short of having the poorest defeats record in the MLB. That's why they will be starting Johnny Cueto instead - in his 111.2 innings and 6-7 record this season, Cueto has a 4.51 ERA with 98 Ks and 38 BBs. The Padres have some hot rookies right now in their young team, look out for the right fielder Hunter Renfroe and the catcher Austin Hedges.

Both Teams Recent Form

San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

SDP are 9-3 in the last 12 games versus a right-handed starter and 5-2 in their last seven overall and those numbers make us lean towards a home win prediction. While the bookies tend to go against our match prediction, youthful SD are a continually improving outfit and they are starting to defy the critics and naysayers as they mature.

San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants Betting Tips

Backing the SD. Pads. on the money line at almost evens is our free pick offering. If you want to be doubly sure of getting some money back, then pick SD at +1.5 on the run line. The MLB contest this weekend could really go either way, so adding that little bit of insurance, albeit at less valuable odds, is probably sensible.
