San Francisco Giants vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The San Francisco Giants are looking more and more like a team that has nothing to play for over these next few weeks. Mason Black doesn't have the sample size to trust, and he hasn't been great in the few innings he has pitched this season. Michael King is having a strong year and the Padres need to keep winning as they chase down a playoff spot. Two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Padres at home.
