PADRES KEY TRENDS: The Padres have struggled on the road, dropping 40 of their last 55 games away from Petco Park. They are also 2-7 in their last nine games following a loss and 15-42 in their last 57 road games versus a right-handed starter. They’re also 1-5 in their last six games overall, 2-9 in their last 11 games versus a right-handed starter, and are winless 0-4 in their last four games when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game.
GIANTS KEY TRENDS: The Giants are winless at 0-5 in Samardzija’s last five home starts and are 0-5 in his last five outings versus a National League West. They’re also 0-6 in his last six outings when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game and 5-17 in his last 22 starts overall. The Giants have lost five of Samardzija’s last seven starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game as well.
Bet Tonight’s Padres vs. Giants Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Padres have won 10 of their last 13 games versus the Giants and have won five of Perdomo’s last six starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. The Giants, meanwhile, are also just 2-6 in their last eight games overall and have lost seven of their last nine divisional games. Until San Francisco starts playing better ball, there’s no reason to lay big money line odds on a team struggling (even given their opponent tonight).
