Giants vs Padres Prediction
The Giants are worth a look at home with Ray on the mound, as he’s been dealing this season, especially at home, where he has a 2.58 ERA and .218 allowed batting average. Cortes has also been horrible this season through 12.2 innings. However, the Padres have been rolling since July 26 and sometimes you just back the hot hand and trust that the tickets will keep cashing. The Giants have the clear edge on the mound, but we’re getting the hotter team at the more favorable price. Give me the Padres.
