San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. I just think the Giants’ offense comes back down to earth against a familiar face in Robbie Ray, but on the other side, Molina’s been a solid option for San Francisco in his limited work, and I think this could be a first to 4 wins kind of game. Give me the under.
