The San Diego Padres have won seven of their last 10 games and are -150 favorites to grab another win this afternoon.
My Giants vs. Padres predictions and MLB picks expect their improved form at the plate to make the difference in a low-scoring game on August 2.
Who will win Giants vs Padres today: Padres (-150)
Michael King hasn’t pitched as well as the surface stats suggest, but he should continue to get away with it against the San Francisco Giants.
They sit 28th in hard-hit rate vs. righties over the past 10 games, and King owns a sparkling 1.95 ERA over eight starts against opponents who ranked Bottom-10 in that category in the 10 contests prior to squaring off.
The San Diego Padres rank second in wOBA and fifth in OPS against righties the last month, and should provide King — and a strong bullpen — enough support to win.
Play the Padres to -160.
COVERS INTEL: King's 82nd percentile ranking in hard-hit rate will help him limit power and keep runs to a minimum.
Giants vs Padres Over/Under pick: Under 8 (-110)
Some of it is smoke and mirrors, but King ranks in the 91st percentile in Pitcher Run Value and is taking on an underwhelming Giants offense. This is not a spot he should run into much trouble.
Landen Roupp is a high-end power neutralizer, allowing 0.63 HR/9 this season. His ability to keep the ball in the park limits bulk scoring and keeps the Giants in games.
I give this contest a 53% chance of staying Under 8.0 runs, and would play it to -113.
