San Francisco’s Jonathan Sanchez is confident his team will overtake San Diego for the NL West lead by the end of the weekend. To do that, the Giants must play better than they have against the Padres this season. With Sanchez on the mound, San Francisco looks to avoid a sixth straight home loss to San Diego when the division rivals open a three-game series Friday night. Earlier this week, the left-hander, who no-hit the Padres last season, said the Giants will sweep San Diego, which holds a 2 1/2-game lead over San Francisco. Though the Giants just won three of four from the struggling Chicago Cubs, they’ve totaled 16 runs while losing seven of eight to the Padres this year. San Francisco was held to four runs while being swept by San Diego at home May 11-13.

The Padres, with the best record in the NL and riding a four-game winning streak after sweeping Pittsburgh at home, prefer to let their play speak for itself. There are 10 meetings left between the teams, including six in San Francisco. The Giants are a different team than the one that struggled against San Diego in April and May. A big reason is the presence of veteran Pat Burrell and rookie Buster Posey, neither of whom was on the roster for the first eight games with San Diego. Posey is batting .331 with eight homers and 41 RBIs since being recalled from the minors May 29. Burrell is hitting .299 with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs in 53 games for the Giants, who acquired him after being waived by Tampa Bay.
