The Giants are 7-0 in their last seven games and 6-0 in their last six road contests. They’re also 4-0 in their last four road games versus a right-handed starter, 6-0 in their last six games versus the rest of the National League West, and 4-0 in their last four games when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game, which the Padres did last night in their 2-1 loss.

Speaking of the Padres, San Diego has dropped four of five overall and four straight at home. They’re 2-7 in Shields’ last nine starts, are 1-5 in his last six home start, and 0-5 in his last five home starts against an opponent with a winning record.
OUR PICK: The Giants have won four of Samardizja’s last five starts and are 4-1 in his last five outings versus a team with a losing record. With their win last night, the Giants have also won 13 of 16 against the Padres and five of seven in San Diego. They’re bound to lose at some point soon, but the pitching match up and opponent are right and the price isn’t overly expensive at -145.
