Giants vs Padres Prediction

Buehler is a two-time champ and two-time all star but he’s been rough this season. In his last 21 innings, Buehler has a 5.14 ERA. In 5.1 road innings Buehler has a 1.350 ERA and .407 allowed batting average. I’ve said it many times before but Webb is great at Oracle. In 90 starts, he has a 2.91 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 537 strikeouts. Webb is comfortable in this big park and he’s fresh off seven fantastic innings against the Phillies. He just needs some run support. Either way, give me the Giants and the cheap price.
