The SF Giants still have a chance to garner a playoff spot, but their chances are quite slim. The Giants send struggling Chris Heston to the mound. SFO has lost each of his last seven starts and the right-hander has been tagged for a 5.03 ERA & 1.62 WHIP. The Giants have struggled on the road this year.

SD sends Tyson Ross to the hill and few hurlers have been as consistent as the Padre righty. Ross has a 2.94 ERA & 1.25 WHIP in his last 26 starts. I'll look for the Padres and Ross to take advantage of poorly hitting SF squad that has won just 13 of their last 38 road games. Let's roll with the better pitcher, the pitcher with revenge, the team with revenge against Heston who is also giving up an excess number of hits and walks per inning and likely is in for trouble here.
