The winless San Francisco Giants are heading to Petco Park in San Diego, California, to face the San Diego Padres at 9:40 PM, with coverage available on MLB.TV/FS1 - because who doesn't love a little West Coast baseball to stay up late for. The Giants, still searching for that elusive first 'W' with a 0-3 record, will send Landen Roupp to the mound, while the Padres, sitting at 1-2, will counter with Walker Buehler. It's a matchup that's all about the Giants trying to turn their luck around, even if their .143 batting average is a bit of a joke compared to the Padres' .204 - let's be real, something's gotta give, and it's probably the Giants' offense, or lack thereof.
The Giants and Padres share the same 4.00 ERA, but that's where the similarities end, because the Giants' offense has been, well, nonexistent, scoring just one run so far - that's not a typo, folks, one whole run. The Padres, on the other hand, have actually shown some signs of life, with seven runs and a home run, making them the excitement kings of this otherwise dismal early-season matchup. And to make matters worse for the Giants, they're dealing with injuries to key players like Joel Peguero and Sam Hentges, which could further hinder their chances - not that they had a ton to begin with. As the game approaches, it's time to make your pick - will the Giants finally get their first win, or will the Padres take the upper hand, and you can follow the discussion on StreakChat.
