Prediction

The Giants have scored 2 or fewer runs in their last 4 losses. They beat Musgrove last week, but Black has not been great thus far,

He will bounce back, but the run line is the better bet for the Padres.

PASS.

Seven of the Padres’ last 9 wins have been by more than 1 run. All 5 of their wins over the Giants this season have been by 2+ runs.

Seven of the Giants’ last 10 losses have been my multiple runs.

Over/Under

Six of the 11 games they have played against each other this season have had 8 or more runs.

The Giants’ last 4 losses have not reached 8 total runs.

Six of the Padres’ last 10 games have not reached 8 total runs.

The Padres have won 10 of their last 12 games and, while they are only 34-43 on the road this season, they have won 5 of their last 6 road games. Also, Waldron has only allowed 3 runs in his last 2 starts (11 IP).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (77-80) and San Francisco Giants (78-79) play the 2nd game of a 3-game set Tuesday at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 6-5

The Padres lost 2-1 as -114 favorites as the Under (7) hit in the series opener Monday. San Diego has lost 2 of 3 and has fallen to 5½ games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago Cubs, who are tied for the final 2 NL Wild Cards.

Giants LF Michael Conforto batted in both runs for San Francisco with a 2-run single in the 8th inning. The Giants have won just 3 of their last 11 outings and are 4½ games out of the final NL Wild Card spot.

Padres at Giants projected starters

RHP Seth Lugo vs. LHP Kyle Harrison

Lugo (7-7, 3.79 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 137 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 3-2 home victory vs. Colorado Rockies Wednesday
  • 2023 road stats: 3-3, 3.91 ERA (73 2/3 IP, 32 ER) in 13 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

The PADRES (-125) will get eliminated with 1 more loss this season. They would also get eliminated by 1 more win for the Diamondbacks and Cubs, but that is out of their control. San Diego scored 6 runs on Harrison the 1st time they saw him, and I expect it to have a similar performance Tuesday in a must-win scenario.

BET PADRES (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 19-7 on the run line this season as home underdogs. San Francisco +1.5 (-160) will probably hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when San Diego ML is the better play.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Over is 22-19-4 (53.7%) this season when the Padres are road favorites. San Diego scored just 1 run Monday, and I expect it to bounce back vs. the rookie Harrison.

The Under has hit in 4 straight games for San Francisco, but its last Over cashed in Harrison’s most recent start.

BET OVER 8.5 (-105).

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 3, Giants 2

Moneyline

The PADRES (-115) are one of the hottest teams in MLB right now as they continue on their very unlikely postseason push. Snell has been dominant in 2 starts this season vs. the Giants, who have been struggling to win games lately. It may be too little, too late for San Diego’s playoff aspirations, but I’ll still take the hotter team with the better pitcher.

BET PADRES (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 18-7 on the run line this season as home underdogs, according to TeamRankings.com. San Francisco +1.5 (-190) will likely hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when San Diego ML is the better play.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 43-30-2 (58.9%) in Giants home games this season and has hit in 4 of the Padres’ last 5 overall. With Snell and Webb on the mound in a must-win game for both teams, I like UNDER 7 (-120) to cash Monday at Oracle Park.

Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

The Giants are orange-hot. They head into Thursday afternoon looking for their 11th consecutive victory. Over its 10 straight wins, San Francisco has averaged 8 runs per game on a high-contact .859 OPS. Prior to this series, the Giants had gone just 2-6 over 8 home games from May 30-June 11.

San Francisco is 2nd in the NL West, 2 1/2 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks and 7 games ahead of the 4th-place Padres.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

The Padres lost Wednesday’s game 4-2; they are 6-0 across their last 6 games after scoring 2-or-less runs the prior game.

San Diego is 0-6 in extra innings and 5-13 in 1-run games. The Friars are deserving of a better record than where they stand. Also, figure their schedule as being tougher than that of the Giants so far.

The lefty-lefty match-up favors the Padres; the better side of their platoon splits have them owning a top-10 OPS (.768) against lefties.

Swimming upstream against a San Francisco win streak is not ideal. Some bettors may want to avoid this play or dial down the unit percentage, but PADRES (-130) has value.

Run line/Against the spread

The Over has a lean, but the return here on San Diego is not great. PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Over is 9-4 in the last 13 series meetings.

The Friars average just 3.70 RPG at home, but on the road that figure jumps to 4.65.

An outward breeze is in the forecast, and there is some lean against both starters and the Padre bullpen. Both bullpens have some availability concerns at the back end.

BACK THE OVER 8 (-120). Consider a partial-unit play unless the price drops to -115 or better.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

The Padres are 9-3 in the last 12 series meetings and are 6-2 in the last 8 games in San Francisco.

San Diego is 0-6 in extra innings and 5-12 in 1-run games. The Friars are deserving of a better record than where they stand. Also, peg their schedule as being tougher than the Giants’ so far.

San Diego batters own a .968 OPS against Manaea, and their platoon numbers favor at-bats against southpaws.

TAKE THE PADRES (-124).

Run line/Against the spread

The Over has a lean, and that makes the Run line favorite worth looking into. But we should want more return here. PASS.

Over/Under

The Friars average just 3.70 RPG at home, but on the road that figure jumps to 4.72.

A stiff breeze blowing outward is in the forecast for Wednesday’s game. With the way the Giants are hitting and the way the Padres have pounded Manaea in the past, the lean is toward the Over.

BACK THE OVER 8 (-115).

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Giants 4

Moneyline

The Padres are 9-2 in the last 11 series meetings and are 6-1 in the last 7 games in San Francisco.

Lugo will see a lot of lefty bats in the San Francisco lineup. He’s been hurt from that side so far this season (.830 OPS) but alongside a .383 batting average on balls in play. For his career, he’s held lefty bats to a .670 OPS.

San Diego is 0-6 in extra innings and 5-12 in 1-run games. They are deserving of a better record than where they stand. Peg their schedule as being tougher than the Giants’ so far.

TAKE THE PADRES (-106).

Run line/Against the spread

If the price stays at Padres -1.5 (+158) or better, this play can be mixed with the above (say, a half unit on the moneyline and a half on the run line) for some extra leverage.

BACK THE PADRES -1.5 (+158).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 series meetings in San Francisco.

The Friars average just 3.70 RPG at home, but on the road that figure jumps to 4.77.

A hefty wind blowing out is in the forecast for Tuesday’s game. With the way the Giants are hitting and the way the Padres have pounded DeSclafani in the past, this one could be near the number by the 7th-inning stretch.

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-115).

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

LEAN PADRES (-110).

The Giants are the hotter team but have not yet proven they can beat the Padres this year, losing both previous meetings. San Francisco is 18-17 at home this season whereas the Padres are 16-16 on the road, meaning neither team has a whopping advantage here. However, San Diego is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings with San Francisco, earning it the lean here.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I could really see this bet going either way and while I am confident in the Padres winning, I’m not confident in them winning by 2 or more runs. However, the Giants at +1.5 (-175) is not worth the juice as they are far too heavy of a favorite in the run line for this game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-120).

The Over is 5-0 in San Francisco’s last 5 games and 6-1 in its last 7 games overall. The Over is also 5-1 in the last 6 matchups between these clubs and 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 3

Money line

The Giants are a lean in a vacuum with this pricing. However, they are 2-10 with a .589 OPS in their last dozen games. San Francisco is also tougher against left-handers (.745 OPS) than right-handers (.687).

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Worth a LINE WATCH due to some San Diego bullpen fatigue. Take the Giants +1.5 if you can get them at -140 or better.

Over/Under

We’ve seen some baked-in Under to this match-up but have been cautious to dive in due to pricing. That changes for this Wednesday matinee.

Both starters have good numbers against the batters they’ll see tonight. Wood, in particular, has significantly better expected-ERA figures. On a cool day in pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 7.5 (-112). Go in with full ammunition at -105 or better.
