Preview

The San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants will play the 3rd game of the series at the Oracle Park on Wednesday. The Padres won the first game of the series but the Giants destroyed them in the second 13-2.

San Diego Padres

The Padres lost their winning streak this Tuesday against the Giants and on an ugly way, they got pounded with 13 runs against 2 of them. San Diego are now 4-2 this season and are  averaging 4.3 runs and allowing 4.3 runs per game. Erick Hosmer is the leader in batting average with .444 while Jurickson Profar leads with 2 home runs and 7 RBI.

After throwing 6 scoreless innings in his last game Darvish was tagged for nine runs on eight hits over 1 2/3 innings with two strikeouts and two walks.. 

Probable Pitcher: 

Sean Manaea (1-0, 0.0 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Padres. Manaea got the win in Friday's 3-0 triumph over Arizona, spinning seven no-hit innings while allowing no runs with one walk and seven strikeouts. In his last 3 games against the Giants he's allowed 5 runs in 15.2 innings.

San Francisco Giants

The Giants get here with a 3-2 record after destroying the Padres in the second game of the series. Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer highlighting a six-run first inning and Joc Pederson homered for the first time since joining the Giants with an eighth-inning drive. The team is now averaging 5 runs and allowing 3 runs per game. Brandon Belt leads the team with 2 home runs and batting for an average of .438. Estrada has 4 RBI.

Cobb who signed a $20 million, two-year contract ahead of the lockout, gave up two runs on four hits and walked two over five innings. He struck out 10 to win his San Francisco debut.

Probable Pitcher:

Logan Webb (0-0, 1.50 ERA) will be on the mound for the Giants in the 3rd game of the series. Webb didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Marlins, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six-plus innings. He struck out three. He wasn't that great against the Padres last season as he had a 1-1 record with an ERA of 5.82 and 15 strikeouts in 3 appearances.

BETTING TRENDS

San Diego are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

San Diego are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Francisco's last 6 games.

San Francisco are 13-6 SU in their last 19 games.

Prediction

The Giants got a fest at home in the second game of the series scoring 13 runs against a San Diego's team who was allowing just 2 runs per game. With these two pitchers it's obvious to say that the total will go under but with the Giants hot at bat and the Padres hungry to win this game I think this total has been set to low. Take the over.

PICK: Over 7 (-110)
