Prior to this series, the Giants managed to claim two out of three games against the Reds, highlighting their determination in the highly competitive NL Wild Card race.
The Giants’ pitching staff boasts a respectable 3.95 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and a .252 opponent batting average this season. While their offense has produced 583 runs, they maintain a .239 batting average and a .314 on-base percentage. LaMonte Wade has been a standout contributor with a .250 batting average, 13 home runs, and 36 RBIs.

San Diego Padres
On the opposing side, the San Diego Padres are facing a challenging season, sitting at 63-73. Recent struggles have seen them lose six of their last eight games, including series losses to the Cardinals and Brewers. The Padres currently occupy the fourth spot in the NL West.
San Diego’s pitching staff has performed solidly with a 3.84 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and a .239 opponent batting average. Their offense has been able to generate 611 runs, fueled by a .240 batting average and a .326 on-base percentage. Juan Soto has been a standout performer with a .261 batting average, 26 home runs, and 81 RBIs. The Padres will rely on Blake Snell, their projected starting pitcher, who boasts an 11-9 record with a remarkable 2.60 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP over 149 innings pitched this season.
Even after winning Game 2, the Padres have fallen short of expectations this season, while the Giants remain locked into an intense National League Wild Card race and every game matters as they try to reach postseason contention.

Blake Snell has proven his worth with 16 starts that have allowed two earned runs or less in just 18 starts since joining their roster.
As the Giants and Padres prepare to square off in Game 3, its outcome remains uncertain. Both sides have shown off their respective strengths and weaknesses throughout the season, creating the potential for an exciting encounter.
