Best Bets of the Day
MLB: San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants Under 8.5 (-110)
3:45 pm ET
In Joe Musgrove’s 3 starts against the Giants this season, 2 of the 3 games finished well under the total. That lone high-scoring contest was the result of poor San Francisco pitching, which won’t be the case with Alex Wood on the mound on Wednesday. In Wood’s most recent outing against the Padres, he tossed 6.1 scoreless innings of 3-hit ball. That game ended with just 1 run scored. Wood has been excellent against the Padres in his last 2 starts and with San Diego’s offense scuffling right now, the lefty is getting the Padres at a good time. Oracle Park has been very pitcher-friendly this year, as to be expected. In fact, it’s currently the 8th hardest park to score a run in and the 4th hardest park to hit a home run out of. Check out our full Padres vs Giants predictions.
