The San Diego Padres (58%) have feasted on sub .500 teams, ranking third in win percentage and rocking a 49-28 record.
San Francisco possesses a miserable offense against left-handed pitching, and that should be their undoing again tonight against Robbie Ray.
Let's break it all down with my Padres vs. Giants predictions and MLB picks.
Who will win Padres vs Giants tonight: San Diego Padres (59%)
For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.
I like the San Diego Padres to 60%.
The San Francisco Giants are hitting .203 vs. lefties over the past month while ranking dead last in xBA and xwOBA. They’ve also struck out at a 26.1% clip, struggling to make any sort of contact.
Robbie Ray is not what he once was but he limited power effectively in home starts with San Francisco, and he’ll be back in the friendly confines of Oracle Park in this one.
The Padres are quietly tied with the Cubs for first in xwOBA over the last 30 days, and their bats will allow them to separate.
COVERS INTEL: Only one batter in San Francisco's projected lineup owns a xwOBA above .300 vs. LHP this season.
Padres vs Giants Over/Under pick: Under 7.5 (48%)
I'm playing the Under to 50%.
The Giants are in horrible form against left-handed pitchers, and they’ll have to contend with a very good bullpen when Ray exits the game. There is no path to easy offense for the home team.
While the Padres have performed well offensively of late, their numbers on the road aren’t nearly as good. They sit 19th in xwOBA and 20th in SLG over the past month, and the pitcher-friendly environment at Oracle Park is not going to help the cause.
Padres vs Giants home run prediction: Manny Machado (17%)
Anthony Molina is an extremely fastball-heavy pitcher, and Manny Machado should be a prime beneficiary.
He has crushed right-handed fastballs over his last 25 games, generating an 18.8% barrel rate, 56.2% hard hit rate, and .304 ISO.
The power has really shown up, and he’ll need every bit of it to leave the park at Oracle.
It’s also worth noting Machado has hit .316 while leading the Padres in home runs vs. relievers on the Giants roster.
