What is the prediction for Giants vs Padres on July 30?
San Diego’s expected pitcher is German Márquez (RHP, 4-2, 5.17 ERA), but it could be JP Sears. San Francisco’s expected pitcher is Robbie Ray (LHP, 9-6, 3.16 ERA).
Giants have a chance if the Padres start with Márquez and Ray dominates. The Giants have Luis Arraez hitting well (4 last night), but overall consistency is poor. Although we can’t discount San Francisco’s huge win against second-place Milwaukee Brewers, 16-3 yesterday. The Padres will be concerned about that.
Padres are the clear favorites, and will likely continue to dominate in hits, as they do well at home and are on a hot streak. But the Giants won’t be a pushover.
Our Giants vs Padres prediction goes against the experts, forecasting a 7-6 win for the Giants.
