Point Spread: 1.50 | -132.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Win
The Padres are at low ebb having lost four in a row. They return to San Diego with their tails tucked between their legs after being swept by the Dodgers. Newcomers Juan Soto and Josh Bell have yet to make a strong impression as the Padres are averaging 1.7 runs in their last four games.

San Diego being such a heavy favorite allows me to get involved with the Giants on the run line in a pitching matchup of Alex Wood against Blake Snell.

Wood is 5-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 13 career starts against the Padres. Wood has been extremely effective at Petco Park where he's 3-1 with a 1.56 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP.

Snell has been disappointing this season with a 4-5 record, 4.16 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 13 starts. He has a 3.48 career ERA against the Giants in four starts against them.
