San Francisco Giants Analysis

The Giants will trot out right-hander Kyle Harrison in the second game of a crucial series against the Padres. Harrison allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers last Thursday. The rookie quickly returned to the big club as a result of Alex Cobb's season-ending hip injury. Harrison has posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 31:9 K:BB over 29.2 frames through six big-league starts thus far. The Giants are five games out of the final NL playoff spot, currently held by the Chicago Cubs, with just six games remaining. San Francisco has a power ranking of 17 and are #23 for offense (scoring an average of 4.27 per game), #16 for defense (giving up an average of 4.48 points per game) and 77-77 overall. San Diego went 0-3 in their last 3 matchups against San Francisco.
