T.M. Selection: Padres (8* MONEY-MAKER).

The Giants took the first game, but San Diego bounced back with a 3-1 win last night. I think the home side offers great value in this spot to earn a series victory. Clearly the book is still out on these line-ups, but this is a pitching matchup which favors the home side for sure: Blake Snell whiffed eight in his Padres debut, and he'll benefit in facing this "on again, off again" Giants offense. Kevin Gausman gave up just one over 6.2 innings in a win over the Mariners in his first start, but note that the Giants are just 2-7 in their last nine in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which they scored one or less runs in. Great value on the home side!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Padres.
