Giants vs Padres Prediction

The Padres won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last five. They already met this season, and the Padres swept the Giants in a two-game mini-series. Both of those duels went Over, and Logan Webb started one of them. Webb allowed five runs in a loss, and considering that he allowed a .314 BA in 188 at-bats against the Padres in his career, I expect San Diego to cause him problems again here. Stephen Kolek, on the other hand, surrendered 3+ runs in each of his last three starts, 14 runs in total. He will be under fire in San Francisco. Back the Over.
