Two NL West teams continue their series on Wednesday as the San Francisco Giants face the San Diego Padres. The San Francisco Giants are coming off of a 7-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The Padres will look to keep that momentum going today with a dominate pitching advantage. Michael King gets the call for the San Diego Padres. King has picked up right where he left off last year with a 3-1 record and a 2.18 ERA with 40 strikeouts this season. He has been strong when pitching against the San Francisco Giants, posting a 2-1 record with a 4.2 ERA and 21 strikeouts. Matt Chapman is 2 for 17 with 4 strikeouts and 0 walks in his career facing Michael King. Jung Hoo Lee has gone 0 for 6 against him. Mike Yastrzemski is 1 for 7 with 2 strikeouts and 1 walks. Tyler Fitzgerald is 0 for 5 with 2 strikeouts and 1 walks in his career facing Michael King. Landen Roupp will take the hill for the San Francisco Giants. Roupp is 2-1 with a 4.91 ERA. Landen Roup is going to be a volatile starter. He's a young arm with filthy breaking pitches. The curveball is elite and the sinker is nasty too. However, there's going to a lot of ups and downs with him. He has over a 5 ERA this season when pitching on the road and a 7 ERA in day games. This is a tough Padres lineup to face at Petco Park. The San Diego Padres have been good at home, posting a 13-4 record. They are 6-5 in their last 11 facing winning teams. Padres have won the last 4 against the Giants.
