Preview

Game two of the NL West matchup between the Padres and the Giants takes place tonight at Oracle Park.  The Padres were decimated 9-1 in last night's opening game. That loss now extends their losing streak to four games averaging a pathetic 1.25 runs per game over that span.  They will need a response tonight if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.  The Giants continued their impressive winning streak now making it eight wins in a row with an impressive 8.88 run per game average.  Last night's win also ensured that the Giants clinched a playoff berth for the 2021 season. 

Pitching matchup

Padres

Jake Arrieta (5-12, 7.04 ERA) Jake Arrieta will start his 23rd game of the season and 3rd since joining the Padres this season.  He has a season ERA of 7.04 and a WHIP of 1.71.  He's pitched 8.1 innings in his two games as a Padre and surrendered ten hits for eight ERs with six strikeouts and two walks.  In one game against the Giants this season, Arrieta threw for two innings and was hit 14 times with six ERs and had one strikeout and two walks. 

Giants

Anthony DeSclafani (11-6, 3.33 ERA) Anthony DeSclafani will his 28th game this season.  The first-year Giant leads the league in shutouts in 2021 to go with his 3.33 ERA and 1.11 WHIP.  DeSclafani has been solid against the Padres this season.  In three appearances he pitched 16.1 innings and has seven ERs from 11 hits.  He also struck out ten batters and walked six.  

Prediction

The Giants are on a high and their bats have been unstoppable on their winning streak.  The Padres are on the complete other end of the spectrum and playing on the road will only make their task harder.  Expect the Giants to take this one. 

PICK: Giants -1.0 (-119)
