Andrew Painter went 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his MLB debut on March 31. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed just one earned run while striking out eight and walking one across 5.1 innings in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over Washington.
The Phillies enter this matchup riding momentum after winning four of their last five games. Kyle Schwarber leads Philadelphia with three home runs and six RBIs while hitting .188. Justin Crawford paces the team with a .321 batting average, and Alec Bohm has driven in seven runs despite hitting just .176. Philadelphia's lineup has produced 35 runs through nine games while posting a .234 team batting average.
Adrian Houser went 0-1 with a 1.69 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in his Giants debut on April 1. The 33-year-old allowed seven hits while striking out four and walking one across 5.1 innings in San Francisco's 7-1 loss at San Diego.
The Giants bring baseball's worst offense into this series opener. San Francisco is hitting just .206 as a team with only 24 runs scored through 10 games. Willy Adames leads the club with one home run and three RBIs while hitting .184, and Luis Arraez paces the lineup with a .275 batting average. Matt Chapman has contributed four RBIs and one home run while hitting .237. The Giants have dropped three straight games after being swept by the Mets and own a dismal 1-6 record at Oracle Park.
The numbers tell a brutal story for San Francisco. The Giants are averaging 2.4 runs per game while hitting .206 as a team. This offensive funk has led them to six losses in seven home games at Oracle Park. Expect their offensive woes to continue, and the Phillies to take this one.
