San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants
Padres: The Padres are one of the biggest ‘dogs in the National League this season in this matchup. San Diego has come alive lately winning nine of its last 12 games. However, the Padres are 1-9 in their last 10 meetings at AT&T Park. Kevin Correia (10-10, 4.34 ERA) gets the call. He’s been a lot better at pitcher-friendly Petco Park where he’s 4-5 with a 3.68 ERA compared to 6-5 with 5.27 ERA on the road. The right-hander retired 19 consecutive hitters on Wednesday during his last start against Washington. He tossed 7 2/3 scoreless inning in winning his team-best 10th game. The under has cashed in six of the last eight meetings between the two clubs. The over, however, is 13-3 in San Diego’s past 16 away contests. The Padres have scored eight earned runs against Tim Lincecum this season in 19 innings.

PROJECTED SCORE: 2
Giants (-$2.60, O/U 6.5 over -$1.25): The Giants have won 42 of their last 61 home contests and have Tim Lincecum (13-5, 2.34 ERA) on the mound. Lincecum has pitched well, but is just 1-2 with four no-decisions in his past six starts. Lincecum yielded two runs on four hits in seven innings against the Phillies in his last start on Thursday, while striking out 11 in a 2-1 loss. Lincecum is 4-2 lifetime versus San Diego with a 1.67 ERA in 11 starts. Freddy Sanchez returned to the lineup on Monday after having been on the DL since Aug. 18 with a shoulder strain. Sanchez is batting above .300 in 14 games since coming from the Pirates. The return of second baseman Sanchez changes the Giants’ infield alignment. Juan Uribe moves to third base now and Pablo Sandoval goes to first base where his defense can be hidden more.
The Giants are 19-7 in their last 26 home games versus a team with a losing record.
The Under is 16-7 in San Francisco’s last 23 games as a favorite.
Key Injuries - Randy Johnson (shoulder) is on the DL.
