San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I usually blindly back Webb at Oracle as he’s been fantastic in this park over his career. Plus, money is worth a look. The problem is the Giants stink, and the Padres are fighting for a playoff spot. Pivetta is also a solid pitcher in his own right with above-average stuff, and he has a 3.43 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 21 innings. Even though Webb isn’t an easy matchup, the Padres need to take advantage of games against bad teams to inch closer to the postseason. Give me the Padres.
