Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>San Diego: </b>Chris Paddack (7-7 3.84 ERA)
</p>
<p>
<b>San Francisco:</b> Dereck Rodriguez (5-6 5.26 ERA)
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/255983&quot; title="Chris Paddack Pitching Logs">Paddack</a> would like to forget his last start where he was tagged up for six earned runs on seven hits in only two 1/3 innings in an 11-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Padres have lost three of his last four starts including his last two where he has given up ten earned runs in only seven innings of work. In Paddack's last two road starts, both San Diego losses, he has given up ten earned runs in eight 2/3 innings, and after the Padres won his first start of the season against the Giants, they lost his other one 6-5 on June 11th where he gave up three earned runs in five innings. The Padres have lost seven of Paddack’s last nine road starts.

Like Paddack <a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/208521&quot; title="Dereck Rodriquez Pitching Log">Rodriguez</a> was less than stellar in his last outing only going four innings and giving up six earned runs in a 12-11 loss to the Chicago Cubs. His previous start he pitched a gem tossing seven scoreless innings and only allowing three hits in a 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Rodriguez's last four starts have been on the road, and in his previous three appearances at home he came out of the bullpen lasting three 2/3 innings, and he gave up four earned runs. This season the Giants are 1-1 in Rodriguez’s two starts against the Padres, which were two of his first three starts to the season, where he totaled 12 innings and gave up four earned runs. In his last 12 home starts the Giants only have one win.
