He has a record of 3-3 with an ERA of 3.66 and 50 strikeouts in 9 appearances versus the Giants in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
San Francisco Giants are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of San Francisco's last 9 games when playing on the road against San Diego.
San Diego Padres are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games at home.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of San Diego's last 9 games when playing at home against San Francisco.
Prediction
The continue to struggle offensively as they haven't scored in their last 24 innings played but honestly I think that bad streak will end tonight. Alex Cobb will take the mound for the Giants and he hasn't been bad but the Giants have lost in 4 of his last 5 starts and has allowed 8 runs in 18 innings while Joe Musgrove will start for the Padres who has absolutely dominated the Giants this season as he hasn't allowed a single run across 14 innings pitched. Expect a reaction from the Padres and to finally get a win.
PICK: Padres -1.5 (+115)
