Manny Machado and Fernado Tatis Jr have been the stars for this team. Manny Machado has hit 16 home runs and driven in 47 RBI’s.

On the mound for the Padres will be Chris Paddack who comes into this game with a 4-4 record and an ERA of 4.23.

Paddack hasn’t been great this season and he has given up plenty of runs this season. It’s only seven games but there is still going to be plenty of runs scored in this game. Look for both teams to have no issue running up the score and this game is going to go well over the posted total. In terms of the total it's a lean to the Giants, but that is a lean at best.
