San Francisco Giants vs San Diego Padres Prediction

Joe Musgrove has been up and down this season and is still trying to find his fooling after missing some time. However, Mason Black has been rocked in limited innings, and this Padres’ lineup isn’t one you usually bounce back against. The Giants have nothing to play for at this stage, and the Padres are closing in on a playoff spot. Two teams heading in different directions. I’m not stepping in front of the Padres. Give me the road team for another victory.
