Free MLB Pick
Each team is on a winning streak sweeping their last opponent. The initial opinion for many would be to back the Giants with lefty Madison Bumgarner on the mound, but the Padres have destroyed left-handed pitching this season. San Diego has averaged 6.44 runs per 9 innings hitting .293 as a team against lefties this season and faced and got to Bumgarner earlier this season for 5 runs on 10 hits in 3 innings! Padres’ starter Tyson Ross has been okay on the road allowing 3 or fewer runs in all 3 starts while recording 1 Q start. His career numbers against SF are good and he did go 6 innings against them earlier season getting the Q start at home in a 6-4 San Diego win.
