Padres vs Giants Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. Both Webb and Pivetta have been solid this season, and we’ve seen both play a lot of low-scoring games as of late. The Padres, offensively, have watched the offense dry up over the last couple of weeks, and the Giants have been inconsistent at times when it comes to run production at the plate. I think this could be a 3-2 kind of game for either side, so even though it’s a low total in this game, I have to ride with the under in this one.
