<\/a>San Diego snapped a two-game losing streak by picking up a 4-2 road victory over the Washington Nationals Sunday, but the team has managed to score just 16 runs over its last seven affairs.\u00a0 The Padres have now tallied 12 wins in April\u2014the most in the opening month since winning 15 in 2010.\u00a0 The franchise hasn\u2019t won a road series in this rivalry since capturing two of three to close out the 2010 campaign.\u00a0 San Diego is 21-43 as road underdogs of +125 to +150 the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n
Padres starting pitcher Tyson Ross (2-3, 3.16 ERA) had his personal two-game winning streak snapped last time out, as he suffered a 5-2 road defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers\u2014surrendering five runs and nine hits over six innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander is 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA in two road games this season.\u00a0 In four career appearances (two starts) at this ballpark, Ross has posted a 3.75 ERA.<\/p>\n
San Francisco has won four games in a row, including a 4-1 home victory over the Cleveland Indians Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 The Giants hit poorly in their first series against the Padres\u2014batting .133 at the plate overall and .077 with runners in scoring position.\u00a0 Catcher Buster Posey has played in 24 of the team\u2019s 25 games, which could be a cause for concern down the line.\u00a0 San Francisco is 4-0 as home favorites of -150 to -175 this season, with the OVER going 3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n
Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (2-2, 3.14 ERA) has suffered back-to-back losses due to receiving just one run of support over that span.\u00a0 The left-hander is 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA in two home outings this season\u2014issuing five walks and striking out 13 batters.\u00a0 In 16 career efforts versus the Padres, Bumgarner has gone 6-3 with a 3.36 ERA, including a 2-0 mark and 2.77 ERA in four appearances last season.<\/p>\n
Sports bettors will likely back the Giants due to their 16-4 record in Bumgarner\u2019s last 20 starts as a home favorite of -151 to -200.<\/p>\n
