Today’s matchup is between the San Diego Padres (35-23) and the San Francisco Giants (29-29).
The Padres are starting Adrian Morejon (LHP), who is 2-2 on the season pitching a 4.86 ERA, 6.06 FIP, .363 wOBA, K% of 30.9%, BB% of 5.9%, 86.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.26 WHIP in 16.2 innings pitched.
The Giants are starting Drew Smyly (LHP), who is 0-0 on the season with a 3.38 ERA, 1.91 FIP, .243 wOBA, K% of 35.2%, BB% of 8.8%, 90.9 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.17 WHIP in 21.1 innings pitched.
The Padres are the 16th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Giants are 13th.
On the hitting side, the Padres have a .337 wOBA and a .333 OBP. The Giants have a .333 wOBA and a .334 OBP. The Padres have 91 HRs this season while the Giants have 78 HRs.
I like the Giants to win the game here. Adrian Morejon has been shaky on the mound this season for the Padres. Drew Symly is likely due for regression but his FIP is solid so I give the Giants the edge in pitching here.
