Giants vs Padres Betting Prediction

San Francisco comes into this matchup looking for the series win, while San Diego is trying to even the series up at two games a piece. The Giants have hit the ball very well in their last two games and they will take on Michael King, who did not do well against the Dodgers in his first appearance of the year. The Giants are rolling with Daulton Jeffries on the mound in this game, who was pretty bad for Oakland in 2022. I really don’t love either starting pitcher, but I am going to take the Padres in this game, as King should be able to improve upon his first appearance. Take San Diego here.
