Why The Giants Will Cover The Spread/Win

Note: All Statistics are before the April 9th game with the Nationals. 

The Giants offense is 20th in the majors in runs scored. They are also 21st in batting average, 23rd in on-base percentage, and 21st in slugging percentage on the year. Michael Conforto comes in leading the way. He comes in hitting .351 on the year while having a .415 on-base percentage. He has three home runs and four doubles on the year, leading to ten RBIs.

He has two home runs and two doubles, with nine RIBs on the year. Chapman has also scored six times this year.

Jorge Soler has also been solid this year.r He comes in hitting .225 on the year with two home runs and three RBIs. He has scored eight times as well this year. Still, strikeouts have been an issue at times for players. LaMonte Wade Jr is hitting well, hitting .333, but has struck out 12 times. Thario Estrada and Mike Uastrzemski are not hitting well though. Both have 11 or more strikeouts and hitting .166 or less this year.

Giants pitching is 29th in the majors in team ERA while sitting 23rd in WHIP and 27th in opponent batting average. It will be Jordan Hicks on the mound in this one for the Giants. He is 1-0 on the year with a .75 ERA. Hicks has pitched twice this year against the Padres, giving up just two runs, with one earned in 12 innings of work. Current Nationals are hitting just .211 lifetime against him, without an extra-base hit.

Final Nationals-Giants Prediction & Pick

The Giants offense has not been great this year, and neither has the NAtionals. The Nationals did take game one of the series and showed some good offense in the process. Still, with Patrick Corbin on the mound, this is an easy fade in this one. He has not been a quality starting pitcher for a while now and has struggled against current members of the Giants. Take the Giants in this one.
