San Francisco Giants Form

San Francisco head to San Diego on the back of a win, but in poor form having lost seven of their previous eight games.

The Giants made a solid start to August as they won five of their first seven games of the month, but they have cooled off since the 5-0 victory at home to Washington.

They lost the next two meetings with Nationals, 4-2 and 8-0, and that proved to be the start of a seven-game skid.

San Francisco were then swept at home by San Diego, as they suffered 4-1, 5-1 and 11-1 defeats at the hands of the Padres.

The Giants dropped back-to-back games against Tampa Bay after that, 7-6 and 2-1, but did rally to take the series finale 7-1 and end their losing run.

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego return home after being swept in Los Angeles, but they have been in decent form with nine wins in their last 15 games.

The Padres began August by sandwiching an 8-5 defeat to St Louis with 4-1 and 7-3 wins, before heading to Arizona where they rebounded from a 6-2 loss with 10-5 and 3-2 wins.

They then returned home and again lost a series opener, this time falling 10-2 to Boston, only to respond with 5-4 and 6-2 wins over the Red Sox.

San Diego built on those victories as they headed to San Francisco to sweep the Giants with 4-1, 5-1 and 11-1 wins.

However, the Padres were unable to keep that red-hot run going, as they were swept by the Dodgers, 3-2, 6-0 and 5-4.

Verdict

San Diego are the team in better form despite being swept in Los Angeles last week.

The have also had San Francisco’s number over the past couple of seasons, so we are backing the hosts.
