  • San Diego Padres won 4-1 when the two teams last met on August 12

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego travelled to San Francisco on a strong run of form, having won 11 of their previous 14 games.

The Padres responded to a four-game losing run with a six-game win streak that started with 3-1 and 9-2 victories in St Louis.

They then swept the New York Mets with 7-6, 7-1 and 5-0 wins, before downing the Cardinals at home, 4-1.

From there San Diego rebounded from an 8-5 loss to St Louis with 7-3 victory, and then answered a 6-2 defeat in Arizona with 10-5 and 3-2 victories over the Diamondbacks.

The Padres dropped the series opener with Boston too, 10-2, before replying with 5-4 and 6-2 wins.

San Francisco Giants Form

San Francisco entered this series on a mixed run of form, having gone 5-4 so far in August.

The Giants ended July on a miserable run of form as they were swept at home by the New York Mets and Pittsburgh, losing six straight games.

They rebounded in New York though as they were able to sandwich a 12-6 defeat to the Mets with 4-3 and 12-4 victories.

San Francisco then dropped the series opener in Pittsburgh, 5-4, before rallying to take the next two meetings with the Pirates, 8-1 and 4-2.

The Giants then made it three-in-a-row with a 5-0 victory over Washington, only to lose the next two meetings, 4-2 and 8-0.

Verdict

San Francisco form has not been great, but this is a good opportunity to get back into the win column.

Robbie Ray has been struggling, so if the Giants can get after him they can walk away with a victory.
