The San Diego Padres are taking on the San Francisco Giants in the 2nd matchup of a four-game series on Tuesday. The series opener is on Monday with that result still pending. The Padres have now lost 3 games in a row after getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series. The Giants have now won their last 7 games straight sweeping the Cubs and the Colorado Rockies in their last 2 series.

 

The Padres are coming into this game after losing to the Dodgers on Sunday 8-0. Yu Darvish will be getting the nod on Monday while Jake Arrieta will be the starting pitcher for this game on Tuesday. He is 5-12 with a 7.04 ERA this season. Arrieta recently came over from the Chicago Cubs and the Padres have lost both games that he has started in so far. Even worse though, Arrieta's team has lost the last 10 games that he was the starter in going back to his days on the Cubs. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 being a HR, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 3 hits through 5 IP against the Houston Astros. He has seen this Giants lineup once this seen back when he was on the Cubs and he was credited with the loss allowing 6 runs scored against him in that game. The Padres' offense has not looked good in their recent games. They have put up just 9 runs in their last 5 games averaging under 2 runs scored per game. The worst part is, they went scoreless in 3 of their last 5 games. This is a team that has just dropped out of the final wildcard spot in the NL and seems to be on a downward spiral right now.

 

The Giants are coming into this game after winning their series finale against the Cubs on Sunday 6-5. Dominic Leone will be the starter for Monday's game while Anthony DeSclafani will be throwing the first pitch for them in this game on Tuesday. He is 11-6 with a 3.33 ERA this season. The team has had some success with him recently winning their last 2 and 4 of their last 6 when he has been the starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 7 hits through 4.1 innings of work against the Rockies. He has seen this Padres lineup 3 times this season and there was a no-decision in 2 of those games while he was credited with the loss in the other. He has allowed 7 runs total against them this year. The Giants' offense has definitely been awake here as they have put up 61 runs on their 7 game winning streak. They have been averaging almost 9 runs scored per game in that span. This is a team that is ready for the playoffs and trying to fend off the LA Dodgers as they are the only team even close to taking the division away from them.

 

The Padres have been very inconsistent in their recent games. The Giants have been winning games and they have been scoring runs. Arrieta does not help out the Padres here at all as they need to get back into the playoff race and he has been nothing but awful this season. It does not matter who is pitching for what team in this game, the Giants are just a much better team and playing like it. The only bets here should be on the Giants moneyline and on the runline.

"It's something that he's dealt with in the past. It usually doesn't come on until the sixth or seventh inning. For whatever reason, today it tightened up on him early. He says he's walking better now. He already feels a little bit better." - Jayce Tingler on Blake Snell leaving Sunday’s game with an injury.

 

 

“Definitely. We're on a run here. Any little thing counts. I always want to play. If I have to fly in for one game, I'll do it again.” - Wilmer Flores on hitting a homer on Sunday.
