The Giants, meanwhile, are 12-4 in their last 16 games versus a team with a winning percentage below .400 and are 24-10 in their last 34 home games versus a right-handed starter. They’re 36-17 in their last 53 games during Game 2 of a series as well.
OUR PICK: The Padres have lost seven of their last nine games versus the Giants and are 17-35 in their last 52 games in San Francisco, too. They’re 1-4 in their last five games versus divisional opponents, 1-4 in their last five games overall, and winless at 0-4 in their last four road games. You’ll have to lay the -1.5 on San Francisco to capture any kind of value, but the Giants should cruise tonight as they look to un-do what has turned out to be a rough homestretch.
