Free Betting Pick: San Diego Padres -115
While the OVER is a solid choice, the play here is San Diego. The Padres have won each of the four head-to-head with the Giants. San Francisco starter Carlos Rodon is coming off a very poor outing in which the left-hander allowed four runs on five hits across five innings in an 8-3 loss to Arizona on Monday. San Diego starter Yu Darvish was hit hard last time out but prior to that had four strong outings in a row with San Diego with three of the four. Final Score Prediction, San Diego Padres win 8-2.
