San Francisco Giants vs San Diego Padres Prediction
Mahle is coming off a solid July, but he still has a 4.96 ERA and 1.40 WHIP on the season. On the road through 38 innings, Mahle has an 8.05 ERA and .340 allowed batting average. Buehler has a 5.13 ER and 1.41 WHIP on the season, and he’s coming off a July where he allowed 23 hits and 24 earned runs in 22 innings. Disgusting numbers from both arms, and it has me leaning toward the over. Expect some offense in this spot. Give me the over.
