Giants vs. Padres Prediction and Odds for Tuesday, August 9 (Joe Musgrove to Continue Dominance of Giants)
If you watched last night's entire San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres game, bless your soul.
It was an absolute snooze fest, with only a single run being scored. The Giants brought a runner home on a sac fly in the top of the fourth inning, and that was all she wrote. San Francisco would hold on to the 1-0 win.
The two teams will meet again tonight, with Alex Cobb (4.08 ERA) of the Giants set to go to war with Joe Musgrove (3.00) of the Padres.

Giants vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
Joe Musgrove is getting the start for the Padres, and that's enough to make me bet on them tonight.
He has been dominant against the Giants this season. He's had to starts against them, allowing only five hits and zero earned runs across a combined 14 innings.
He has certainly played a role in the Giants' struggles against right-handed pitchers this season. Their OPS drops from .747 against lefties, to .693 against righties.
Add on the fact the Giants rank 29th in bullpen ERA since July 1st at 5.37, and I have no fear backing San Diego to bounce back with a win tonight.
Pick: Padres -1.5 (+115)
