The Lean
The San Francisco Giants are favored with a moneyline of -174 against the San Diego Padres at +146. The Giants have a strong pitching staff with a 3.15 ERA, ranked 3rd, which gives them an edge. My model projects the Giants to win with a score of 4-3, making them the recommended pick for the moneyline.
The current over/under line is set at 7.0, with the over at -125 and the under at +105. Both teams have solid pitching, but the Giants’ ability to limit home runs suggests a lower-scoring game. My model projects a total score of 7, so the under is a cautious pick given the odds.
Padres, Giants Collide in Critical NL West Series
The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants aren’t just playing for bragging rights this week—they’re fighting for second place in the National League West. And with the division-leading Dodgers just two games ahead of San Diego, the stakes couldn’t be higher as this four-game series kicks off Monday at Oracle Park.
San Diego’s slim one-game lead over San Francisco is thanks in part to an earlier two-game sweep in April, where Padres picks came through strong. Logan Webb was roughed up in that series, allowing five runs in just five innings. He’ll be looking for redemption in Game 1.
Pitching Spotlight: Webb Looks to Rebound, Kolek Gets the Call
Webb (5-5, 2.82 ERA) hasn’t had the smoothest ride lately. His last two starts in May saw him give up 17 hits and nine runs in just 10 innings. Still, his 3.26 ERA in 15 career appearances vs. the Padres suggests he can bounce back.
Stephen Kolek (3-1, 4.11 ERA) will take the mound for San Diego. After a strong debut in May, Kolek hit a bump in the road, allowing 15 runs over his last three starts. He didn’t pitch against the Giants in April but did face them out of the bullpen last season.

Giants Offense Needs a Spark
Despite a 4-2 win over the Marlins on Sunday—thanks to a clutch homer by Luis Matos—the Giants have struggled to generate offense, scoring four runs or fewer in 14 straight games.
Manager Bob Melvin joked that Matos’ homer “felt like a 20-run home run” given the team’s recent cold spell. If San Francisco wants to keep pace in the division, they’ll need more firepower this week.

Padres Finding Their Groove Again
San Diego has been riding momentum after a rough patch that included a six-game skid. They’ve now won three straight series, showing signs of life as the season intensifies.
However, the Padres might be without power bat Gavin Sheets in the opener. Sheets suffered a head contusion and other injuries after a brutal collision with the outfield fence on Sunday. His status is still up in the air.
Manager Mike Shildt managed to keep things light, saying, “I think the fence is OK.”
