Two teams that are red hot, the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres, will open a 4-game set tonight at Petco Park. The Giants have won 5 straight, 8 of their last 10, and are expected to send Trevor Cahill to the rubber. Cahill, who is 0-0 with a 2.65 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP, has seen limited action this year with some finger and hip issues so he might be on a short leash tonight. The Pads have won 4 straight and 8 of their last 10. They are expected to have Chris Paddack tap the rubber and he has struggled. Paddack is 3-4, with a 4.75 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and he is 1-4 in his last 6 starts with a 5.13 ERA. The Giants have won 5 of their last 6 trips to Petco and warrant consideration.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
