Prediction published on 9/13/24, 6:52 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 9/17/24 at 12:25 AM in MLB Picks

The NL West Division will offer one of the most attractive matches in Sunday’s schedule when San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres clash at 02:05 pm Central Time for the third and last game of the series between them. In this last part of the regular season, it’s more than evident that San Francisco Giants must start thinking about the decisions to be taken in order to avoid having such a bad season next year.

When looking deeper at San Francisco Giants’ performance, it can be found that even when they’ve such an effective offensive player like Matt Chapman, the lack of consistency in the rest of the squad has had a very bad impact on the general performance of the team. The only other batting player that has achieved more than 100 hits this season is Heliot Ramos (113).

Meanwhile, San Diego Padres are still pushing Los Angeles Dodgers for the top spot of the NL West Division, managing to keep 4.5 games behind even when they recently had a bad streak when receiving the Giants at home in early September. Part of this success is due to Jurickson Profar and Manny Machado’s performances, as they’ve contributed with 83 runs and 26 home runs, respectively.
