Matt Waldron gets the ball for the San Diego Padres, and he is 0-1 with a 9.88 ERA and 8 strikeouts this season. Waldron is 0-0 with a 1.65 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the San Francisco Giants.
The San Francisco Giants are 14-22 on the year and play the Pirates and Dodgers next. The San Francisco Giants are batting. 242 on the season, have a .286 OBP, and have a .359 slugging percentage.

I’m not looking at a side here at all. Waldron has a 9.88 ERA and 1.98 WHIP through 13.2 innings. Houser has a 7.12 ERA and 1.71 WHIP through 30.1 innings. These pitchers are in rough shape and now they’re taking the mound in a massive park where there’s plenty of room for the struggles to continue. I expect some runs in this game and I’ll take the over.
