San Francisco at San Diego

The San Francisco Giants have improved from last year, but are still a below average team. This time of year is tough on losing teams playing out the string, but San Francisco has won four of their last five and looks for the sweep tonight at San Diego, where they have taken the first two. The Padres have gone the other way at 60-92 on the season, having now lost four of their last five. San Diego will start a road trip after this game, and is still in danger of losing 100 games this season. The Giants have now won eight of the last nine in this series, including six straight, and seem to be playing with more purpose right now. Play on San Francisco.
