San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants Prediction: Holy fathers rehabilitate themselves for recent failures

San Francisco finally broke their losing streak by beating Arizona on the road and will now begin another away clash with San Diego. Will the Giants be able to consolidate their success? Let's pick a few bets at once.

The Padres have won just three of their last 11 games. Just before the meetings with San Francisco, the team lost twice at home to Seattle (2:8, 2:6). Before that, San Diego had failed to handle their rival in the National League West Division, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres lost 3 out of 4 away games to the Dodgers (1:3, 1:5, 2:7, 4:2). The Padres are now six wins behind the Dodgers.

Joe Musgrove will pitch the first game of the series against San Francisco, 8-2, with a 2.25 ERA in 14 games this season.

The Giants had a series in Phoenix against Arizona before coming to San Diego and lost their first two games, but still won the third game (7:6). The score was 7:4 in the ninth inning - but San Francisco's closer Camilo Doval nearly missed the lead. However, the Giants broke a six-game losing streak. The team is 41-39 and 8th in the National League standings.

Logan Webb will pitch for San Francisco in game one of the series against the Padres, 7-3 and a 3.13 ERA in 16 starts.

San Francisco broke their losing streak, and the Holy Fathers need to make amends for their series loss to the Dodgers and two straight losses to Seattle. It looks like the Padres will indeed get a win. With Joe Musgrove on the pitching hill this season, a San Diego win is almost a certain outcome.
