San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants prediction and odds Tue., 8/30: Padres aim to pressure Giants

Yardbarker Quick Pick

Blake Snell and Logan Webb have both made two previous starts against these teams tonight, so we're looking at four past outings between them. Both pitchers allowed just one run in both starts against the opposing squad, suggesting to us a low-scoring game is coming. We check the weather, and it's looking like a -9% decrease to expected runs. As such, we're betting under 7.5 runs here. — Griffin Carroll, Yardbarker

San Francisco has lost five straight games.

If there was a negative in the Padres' win, it was that they had to extend Martinez 27 pitches in order to record a four-out save. Martinez has pitched in back-to-back games just once this season, that coming after a one-inning, 19-pitch outing earlier this month.

More likely, Padres manager Bob Melvin would have to trust Josh Hader should a save situation arise Tuesday, and that could be problematic. Hader has appeared in seven games since being acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers on Aug. 1, pitching to a 23.14 ERA.

"Just working through it," Hader said of his slump. "You are going to have good ones and bad ones. Trust the process."

Tuesday's scheduled starter for the Padres, Blake Snell (5-7, 4.24 ERA) also has had issues of late, if not at Hader's level. The left-hander is coming off his worst outing of the year Wednesday, when he was battered by the Cleveland Guardians for six runs and eight hits in just 3 1/3 innings in a 7-0 home loss.

The 29-year-old has pitched well in a pair of starts against the Giants this season, limiting them to one run in a 6-3 home win in July and the only run of the game in a 1-0 home loss in August. He's gone 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA in five career starts against the Giants.

San Francisco righty Logan Webb (11-7, 3.33) has lost his last two starts, roughed up to the tune of nine earned runs (11 total) and 14 hits in 9 1/3 innings by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers. The Giants lost the games 5-0 and 6-1.

The 25-year-old has pitched a pair of 2-1 games against the Padres this season, with each team winning one. He held San Diego to one run and four hits over eight innings in an April win, then one run and six hits in eight innings in a July loss.

For his career, Webb has gone 2-1 with a 3.14 ERA against the Padres in eight games (seven starts).

There's a good chance Webb will find himself throwing to backup catcher Austin Wynns as starter Joey Bart had to leave the series opener after getting hit in the mask with a foul tip.

Bart talked his way into finishing the inning, but Giants manager Gabe Kapler said a subsequent evaluation not only prompted him to be removed from the game, but also to be questionable moving forward.

"When he got to the dugout, he wasn't feeling great, so we got him out of there," Kapler said. "He told the doc after the game that he had pressure (in his head). We'll evaluate him (Tuesday) morning, and we'll see what his availability is."
