San Francisco Giants vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Padres to approach this game with confidence

Oracle Park will host Major League Baseball between the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. The San Diego Padres opened the series with a win. Will Giants even things in this game 2?

The San Francisco Giants have suffered consecutive defeats and will hope to get a better result here. In the opening game of this series, the home team failed to score a single run, having also failed to score in their finale against the Milwaukee Brewers. In recent matches, the San Francisco Giants have lost three while conceding 18 runs in that run. This season in the National League, the San Francisco Giants have a 72-76 record, leaving them in 10th place.

The San Diego Padres started this series on a good note with a 0-5 win, and they are the favorite in this game. In the meantime, that win was the most remarkable of their recent games, as prior encounters saw this team lose three of their last four. In that run, the San Diego Padres' lone win was against the Seattle Mariners in their first game of a quick two-game series. Heading into this game 2, the San Diego Padres have an 83-65 record, leaving them seated 4th in the National League. 

After a poor opener, the San Francisco Giants will struggle in game 2. Looking at the level of defensive play of the San Diego Padres, I do not expect them to slack. While the San Francisco Giants were poor in their last two games offensively, I expect them to struggle in offense again. Expect few runs in this game while the San Diego Padres win again.
