SAN FRANCISCO @ SAN DIEGO (SD -185, 7.5)
PADRES F5 ML
The Padres have taken each of the last two games from the Giants, holding San Francisco to 1 run in each game. The Giants have won just two of their last 11 games and in those 11 games, they've managed just 25 runs. Thirteen of those runs came in two games against Tampa Bay.
The Giants will face Dylan Cease today and he is much better at home and even better when he starts a day game. At home this season, Cease is 5-3 with a 3.61 ERA. In day games, Cease is 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA.
The Padres will face Justin Verlander, who has been better lately but the Giants still lose the majority of his starts. In 10 decisions this season, Verlander is just 1-9. Verlander has started 21 games this season. In those games, the Giants have exactly 4 wins.
The Padres are also a very good First Five team, especially when they are playing at home. San Diego is 28-21-10 on the F5 moneyline at home this season and they have won 7 of the last 10 in the F5, including the last two games against the Giants.
