Tips and predictions for the game Padres vs Giants

forecast

Pittsburgh 5, Giants 2

Money line

The Giants have scored 2 or fewer runs in their last 4 losses. They beat Musgrove last week, but Black hasn't been great so far.

Musgrove allowed 6 runs in his last start, but his ERA in the previous 4 was 1.16.

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

HAPPEN.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Seven of the Padres' last nine wins have been by more than one run. All five wins against the Giants this season have been by more than two runs.

Seven of the Giants' last ten losses have been multiple losses for me.

BET PADRES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

In six of the eleven games they have played against each other this season, there have been eight or more runs.

The Giants' last four losses have not resulted in a total score of 8 runs.

In six of the Padres' last ten games, they have not scored a total of eight runs.

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).
