San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. Roupp and King are solid options for their respective rotations, and I think this could end up being a bit of a pseudo Pitcher’s duel. The bullpens on both sides have also been some of the best in baseball over the last couple of weeks and while we saw runs come in bunches in Tuesday’s matchup, one win is not going to convince me all of a sudden that these offenses are back in business and are going to be operating at a high level going forward. I still think this is going to end up being a low-scoring affair, so give me the under in this one.
