First I wanted to pick the Giants ML but then I looked into past stats a little bit deeper and therefore opted for the handicap. Here's why.
Since 2012 the Giants are 24-17 (59%) against the Padres in the regular season and 13-6 (68%) at home.
In 25 home series at AT&T since 2012 in which the Giants lost the first match of a series the Giants are 18-7 (72%) in the 2nd match of a series. 13 of those 18 wins came with handicap (72%).
Starter Matt Cain has pitched 4 games against the Padres since 2012. 3 were won (75%), 1 was lost. He pitched 29.0 innings and gave up 7 runs, but only 3 were earned runs.
In 22 away series since 2012 in which the Padres won the first match of a series the Padres are 8-14 (36%) in the 2nd match of a series. 9 of those 14 losses came with handicap (64%).
Starter Eric Stults has pitched 54.2 innings against the Giants since 2012 and has given up 33 runs against them, all of them earned. The Padres are 6-4 (60%) against the Giants when Stults pitched. But 3 of his 4 losses came with handicap (75%).
The Giants have a .770 OPS over the last 7, .718 against LHP. The Padres have a .551 OPS over the last 7, .608 against RHP.
Besides the Padres record against the Giants when Stults pitches nearly everything points towards a Giants win with at least 2 runs difference.
