San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Padres here. Logan Webb historically has been at his best at home and but the problem here is that the Padres have been the better team overall and have been better against right-handed pitching and are looked primed to clinch their spot in the postseason in the coming days. The Giants have just been so inconsistent and I think this is going to be another tough outing to back them. Give me the Padres.
