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.

[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).

The San Diego Padres (77-79) and San Francisco Giants (77-79) open a 3-game set Monday at Oracle Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET (FS1). 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.

The Giants lost 3-2 as +149 underdogs at the Los Angeles Dodgers as the Under (9) cashed Sunday. San Francisco is 2-8 in its last 10 games.

Padres at Giants projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. RHP Logan Webb

Snell (14-9, 2.33 ERA) makes his 32nd start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 5.0 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 in 174 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 BB, 10 K in 2-0 home victory vs. Colorado Rockies Tuesday

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.

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (35-39) and San Francisco Giants (42-32) meet Thursday in the finale of a 4-game NL West series. First pitch from Oracle Stadium is slated for 3:45 p.m. ET. 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.

Season series: Giants lead 3-2

San Diego is looking to avoid being swept. The Friars have only been swept in 1 other series this season, May 12-14 at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

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 projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. LHP Alex Wood

Snell (3-6, 3.48 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 4.8 BB/9 and 11.2 K/9 in 75 innings.

  • Owns an 18.9% swinging-strike rate over his last 3 starts and is facing a Giants offense that has filed a 25.7 whiff percentage against southpaws
  • Owns a 3.15 ERA on the road over the last 2 years

Wood (2-1, 4.11 ERA) is making his 9th start. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 35 innings across 9 games (8 starts).

  • Owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP over 249 career games

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.

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (35-38) and San Francisco Giants (41-32) meet Wednesday for the 3rd game of a 4-game NL West set. First pitch from Oracle Stadium is slated for 9:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network). 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.

Season series: Tied 2-2

San Diego has dropped the 1st 2 games of this series, and the Padres are just 2-4 over their last 6 games. They sit 4th in  the NL West, 8 1/2 game out of 1st place.

The Giants head into Wednesday night looking for their 10th consecutive victory. San Francisco’s offense has banged out an .877 OPS over that span. The Giants have outscored opponents 76-29 over the 9 straight wins and have surged into 2nd place in the NL West, 2 1/2 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Giants projected starters

RHP Yu Darvish vs. RHP Ryan Walker

Darvish (5-5, 4.74 ERA) makes his 14th start of the season. He owns a 1.20 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 74 innings.

  • Has yielded 10 R over his last 10 1/3 IP and owns a 6.75 ERA in his last 7 starts
  • Has a 9.75 ERA over his last 5 starts against San Francisco

Walker (2-0, 1.65 ERA) is tabbed for his 2nd start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 16 1/3 IP across 12 games (1 start).

  • The 27-year-old rookie has pitched 20 1/3 IP in Triple-A this season (0.89 ERA, 0.85 WHIP)
  • Likely to serve as an opener with LHP Sean Manaea (2-3, 5.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) logging bulk innings behind him

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).

RHP Seth Lugo vs. RHP Anthony DeSclafani

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).

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

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.

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

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.

The Giants have lost 6 straight games. San Francisco owns a bloated 4.56 ERA and1.52 WHIP over that losing streak. The Giants are just 10-16 in August.

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.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 3

Money line

Snell has allowed 1 or 0 runs in 5 of his last 7 starts. The San Francisco offense is prone to long batting slumps and may be in one now.

TAKE SAN DIEGO (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Friars have the better bullpen, but the back end of that ‘pen is caution-flag fatigue territory. It’d be wise to AVOID the run line in taking the road favorite with a low total.

Over/Under

Both starters have good numbers against the batters they’ll see tonight. The Under 7.5 is the play … but only up to -120. PASS otherwise.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Padres 3

Money line

Peg Mike Clevinger as being too far out over his skis with his surface line. Clevinger has benefited from a .249 batting average on balls in play and he’s been fortunate with a high left-on base rate also.

The Giants are just 4 for their last 35 (.114 BA) with runners in scoring position.

Look for a bounce-back: take the GIANTS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Both teams tend to play more 1-run games than the average club, so there is some risk on this GIANTS -1.5 (+165) play. However, the price is attractive so some bettors may want to include this play in a smaller dose alongside the above ML.

Over/Under

These offenses both have an Under lean, but before unleashing a play, it’d be best to find a game where both starters do also. That’s not the case here with a suspect Clevinger line.

AVOID.

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (26-14) and San Francisco Giants (22-17) meet Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET for the finale of a 3-game series at Oracle Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Giants odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Padres lead 3-2.

Padres at Giants projected starters

LHP MacKenzie Gore vs. LHP Alex Wood

Gore (2-1, 2.17 ERA) — a rookie — owns a 1.21 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 through 29 IP in 5 starts and 1 relief appearance.

  • Has tossed between 5-5 2/3 IP in each of his 5 starts.
  • Allowed 3 runs on 7 hits across 5 IP in his last start against the Chicago Cubs May 9.
  • Tossed 3 scoreless innings in long relief Tuesday at the Philadelphia Phillies.

Wood (3-2, 3.93 ERA) has logged a 1.40 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 through 34 1/3 IP across 7 starts.

Padres at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Padres 2

Money line

The Friars are 9-4 in 1-run games and have an overall record outkicking the coverage of 4.38 runs per game vs. 3.88 RPG allowed. San Diego has the better relief corps in a vacuum, but after a couple close games, the back end of that group will be held in check Sunday.

San Francisco is the play at -135 or better. PASS otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread

An outward breeze out is expected in the forecast. That’s less of a concern for Wood than Gore. The veteran Giants hurler gets more ground balls.

With a solid Under, a ML play — at a better price — would be more advisable. But at current prices, some bettors may want to hold their noses and go with SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (+145).

Over/Under

Both offenses have some quality-of-contact figures that point to their surface numbers being a bit overcooked. With Wood starting for the Giants, THE UNDER 7.5 (-108) HAS VALUE.
