Key Stats
San Francisco Giants
Jordan Hicks will take the bump for the Giants in today’s game. Hicks has started the season 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and struck out six batters. Michael Conforto leads the team with a .370 batting average, three home runs, nine RBIs, ten hits, and an OBP of .500.
San Diego Padres
The Padres are expected to start Dylan Cease for today’s game. Cease has started the season 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA and six strikeouts. Luis Campusano leads the team with a .400 batting average and 12 hits. Manny Machado has tallied seven RBIs, while Jurickson Profar carries an OBP of .423. Fernando Tatis Jr. has smacked a team-high three home runs.
Game Prediction
San Diego enters this one trying to keep pace in a stacked NL West. Cease gives them a slight pitching advantage in this one, and with the Giants’ lack of offense, he should have a good day pitching. This Padres offense is humming right now, but Jordan Hicks may slow them down. I am rolling with Tatis Jr. and San Diego to pick up another win.
Final Pick
San Diego Padres (-102)
