PADRES KEY TRENDS: The Padres are 5-1 in Richard’s last six starts when their opponent allows five runs or more in its previous game.

Bet Today’s Padres vs. Giants Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Padres have beaten the Giants in 11 of the last 15 meetings between these two teams and is 5-2 in Richard’s last seven road starts versus San Francisco. With Brandon Crawford and others banged up for the Giants, they’re just short-handed right now. They’re inconsistent overall, are punchless offensively, and don’t appear to have the same pitching as they’ve had in years past. This is a great chance to hope on the underdog Padres at a great price.
