- Padres (-150) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres
Saturday, September 07, 2024 – 08:40 PM ET at Petco Park
The AI Model likes the Padres to escape the Giants tonight, 3.7-3.4. With a projected .3 victory, the Padres are the play. You can find them at -155 odds.
Can Logan Webb Stay Hot?
The Giants right-handed ace, Logan Webb, has held his last 130 batters to a .246 wOBA over the previous month. He’s also held teams to a .129 ISO and has induced more than 58% of ground balls in the last month.
But his strikeout rate is low, and his hard contact rate is up. The Padres will make contact and could even turn some hard-hit ground balls into extra-base hits. San Diego has the potential to score just based on the fact that the ball will be put in play.
More Strikeouts From Cease
Dylan Cease will take the mound for the Padres. It’ll be an epic duel between two elite pitchers. However, Cease has struck out more than 30% of batters this season and will take on a Giants lineup that has struck out 28.3% over the last month using their projected lineup.
The Giants’ lineup won’t have the same potential as the Padres’ since Cease will add more strikeouts and fewer balls in play.
The Pick
Let’s ride the Padres at -150 for tonight’s game.
