With that said, it’s a good time to check out our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, which includes our Giants-Padres prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>San Francisco is in a much different spot this year, with their 54-56 record a far cry from their 107 wins in 2021. The Giants are six and a half games out of a playoff spot, but their hopes seem to diminish every day. Winning this series against San Diego would go a long way towards helping their playoff chances.</p><p>San Diego took the attention of the baseball world over the course of the trade deadline. Their two headlining moves were acquiring Juan Soto and closer Josh Hader. With a 62-51 record, San Diego holds the final Wild Card spot despite going 5-5 in their last 10 games.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Giants-Padres MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Giants-Padres Odds</b></h2><p>San Francisco Giants: +1.5 (-142)</p><p>San Diego Padres: -1.5 (+118)</p><p>Over: 9 (-105)</p><p>Under: 9 (-115)</p><h2><b>Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>San Francisco’s 128 home runs rank tenth in the league. Joc Pederson, one key of the offseason, leads the team with 17, and has added a .487 slugging percentage. Second baseman Thairo Estrada, in his first bout of regular playing time, has enjoyed a career year. Estrada has hit a team-leading .269, with 10 home runs and 15 stolen bases. Wilmer Flores has hit .251, with 20 doubles and 16 home runs. Injuries and downturns have derailed this offense, but the potential is still off the charts. There are tons of power hitters in this lineup and well-rounded power hitters at that.</p><p>Today, Jakob Junis takes the hill for San Francisco. Junis has spent most of his season in the starting rotation, with 10 of his 13 appearances coming as a starter. In those ten starts, Junis owns a 3.24 ERA, holding batters to a .221 batting average. Junis has walked just 5.6% of the batters he has faced, ranking in the 83rd percentile in that category. Against his slider, a pitch that Junis throws 50.9% of the time, batters have managed a measly .209 batting average, striking out 40 times. San Francisco’s bullpen has been brutal, with their 4.42 ERA ranking 26th in the league. Still, closer Camilo Doval has been exceptional, with a 2.93 ERA and 15 saves in his 46 innings of work.</p><h2><b>Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>San Diego, after the most exciting deadline haul in recent memory, has become the darlings of the league. Unfortunately, it seems that nothing is good enough to catch the Dodgers in the NL West. Still, Juan Soto electrifies a lineup that has scored 492 runs this season. Soto launched his first home run as a Padre last night in a 7-4 victory. Soto has hit .348 in his seven games as a Padre. Manny Machado, the second of a potential three-headed monster, has hit 20 home runs and 23 doubles with a .290 batting average. Machado is hitting .321 in his last seven games, including last night’s walk-off three-run home run. San Diego ranks ninth in the league with 192 doubles, even as they await the return of Fernando Tatis, Jr.</p><p>Pitching today for San Diego is Sean Manaea, with a 4.74 ERA in 20 starts. Manaea has struggled recently, with a 6.69 ERA in his last seven games. Manaea’s changeup has been of particular hindrance, with batters hitting .280 against the offering. San Diego’s bullpen has been solid, ranking 13th in the league with a 3.82 ERA. Adding Josh Hader to the mix, despite his blown save last night, has only improved this group. Nabil Crismatt has been the star option of this group, with a 2.70 ERA in his 50 innings.</p><h2><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>San Diego is a better option in this one.</p><p><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick: San Diego -1.5 (+118), over 9 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">series</a> with a Giants-Padres prediction and pick.</p><p>The Giants took the first game of the series last night with a 1-0 victory in San Diego. Alex Wood pitched a gem against the new-look Padres as they try and gain ground on them in the standings. SF improved to (54-55) which is good for third in the NL West. The Padres have now lost five straight and are (1-5) in the Juan Soto era. This is a shock. Even though Fernando Tatis Jr. has yet to debut for the Padres this season, this lineup is stacked. The Padres haven’t scored a run since Saturday night in the loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Giants-Padres MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Giants-Padres Odds</b></h2><p>San Francisco Giants: +1.5 (-137)</p><p>San Diego Padres: -1.5 (+114)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-104)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-118)</p><h2><b>Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Starting for the Giants tonight is right-hander Alex Cobb. Cobb is enjoying a solid campaign with a 4.08 ERA in 88 innings this season. The Giants find a way to get quality starts out of their starters and even though Cobb is on the backend of the rotation, he can go out there a dominate if needed. It’s an odd situation as he faces a tough team, but could go out and pitch well once again with the Friars struggling. Cobb allowed three runs to the Dodgers in his last start but allowed only one to the Cubs the start prior.</p><p>The lineup for the Giants is a problem. With Darin Ruf now a New York Met, the lineup got even worse. It’s a shock they didn’t trade Joc Pederson either as they could have gotten some elite young talent for him. Despite all that, they found a way to outhit the Padres in Game 1 and will need to do the same if they want to cover this spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Pitching for the Padres is 2022 All-Star Joe Musgrove. Musgrove has not won a game since June 16. I know wins and losses aren’t a pitchers’ stat, but that is a long time. The Padres are (1-7) since his last win and his (8-0) record moved to (8-5) and his 1.50 ERA moved up to 3.00. The right-hander is struggling right now but saw success against the Giants the last time they met. He pitched seven innings allowing just one hit and had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning. If no-no Joe can get back on track tonight then the Padres should cover this spread.</p><p>I said “should” for a reason. The Padres offense is horrific right now. They haven’t scored in 23 straight innings even though the lineup has gotten a lot better. And I mean a lot better. Juan Soto is now in San Diego alongside Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth. Josh Bell and Brandon Drury came with and the lineup has a ton of pop. In last night’s game, Brandon Crawford threw a dart to home to tag out Drury to keep the scoreless streak alive. Drury was initially ruled safe but the replay showed he was tagged out before touching the plate. That play was as close as it gets.</p><p>The offense needs to figure out a way to string together some hits so they can score runs against a sub-.500 team.</p><h2><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Musgrove should be on his game but betting on the Padres isn’t a smart move right now. Take the Giants to cover this spread because it should be a close game.</p><p><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick: Giants +1.5 (-137)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Giants Padres prediction and pick.</p><p>Alex Wood goes to the mound for the Giants, while Blake Snell gets the call for the Padres.</p><p>Alex Wood has a 4.42 ERA. He pitched to a 1.65 ERA in a brilliant month of July, bouncing back from a very rough start to his season. However, in his most recent start on Aug. 2, he gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings. The key point here is that Wood’s rough outing last week came against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the hottest team in baseball. The Dodgers have lost just five games since July 1. Should a pitcher be downgraded in an overall evaluation because he couldn’t solve the 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers at the height of their powers? Wood has been mediocre for most of the year, but in his non-Dodger starts over the past five weeks, he has been really good. This is a fascinating game to pick precisely because of Wood’s pitching profile. It doesn’t lead to easy answers. One also has to wonder if the new-look Padres, after running into the very same Dodger buzzsaw over the weekend, will easily bounce back or will continue to be in a funk.</p><p>Blake Snell’s ERA at the end of June was 5.60. He was having a miserable year and was not coming close to matching the standard he set with the Rays in 2020, when he led them to the doorstep of a first World Series championship. Then, in July, everything changed. Snell posted a 2.81 ERA for that particular month. In his first start of August, he held the Rockies to one run in six innings. He has shaved 1.44 runs off his ERA, which now stands at 4.16. It’s hard to bet against Blake Snell right now.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Giants-Padres</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Giants-Padres Odds</b></h2><p>San Francisco Giants: +1.5 (-130)</p><p>San Diego Padres: -1.5 (+108)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-112)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-108)</p><h2><b>Why The Giants Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Giants are a desperate team. They are several games back in the National League wild card race. They have to get hot soon and stay hot for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, the new-look Padres, despite having Juan Soto, Josh Bell, and Brandon Drury in their lineup, haven’t looked convincing. The Dodgers outscored them 20-4 in a three-game sweep over the weekend. The Padres are feeling a level of pressure they haven’t felt before. If we don’t penalize Alex Wood for one bad game last week, we can reasonably claim that he should pitch well in this contest.</p><h2><b>Why The Padres Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After getting hammered by the Dodgers over the weekend, the Padres will return home and find the Giants much less challenging and formidable by comparison. Beyond that point, Blake Snell is pitching better than Alex Wood right now. Most of all, San Diego’s new and improved lineup isn’t going to remain impotent very long. Getting beaten by the Dodgers doesn’t make San Diego a bad team; it makes the Padres not as good as the Dodgers. They’re a lot better than the Giants, full stop.</p><h2><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Padres have done well against the Giants this year, and Blake Snell is pitching well. The offense is bound to bust loose before too long, and Alex Wood is unlikely to continue San Diego’s hitting woes, even though he has pitched well in recent weeks. Take the Padres.</p><p><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick: Padres -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

To open the week, San Diego <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-san-diego-stuns-dodgers-cardinals-with-juan-soto-josh-bell-trade-coup/">acquired Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals</a>. However, they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. Manny Machado, however, isn’t worried about the Dodgers’ sweep of the Padres. Although, his reasoning for not being worried is a bit peculiar.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/AJCassavell/status/1556472050608664576">MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell shared a recent interaction</a> detailing Machado’s response to San Diego’s difficult weekend.</p><p>“Concerned? Why would I be concerned? Not at all,” Machado said when asked if he is concerned about the way the Padres match up against the Dodgers.</p><p>When it comes to his level of confidence, though, he only has one answer: “Cause I’m freaking Manny Machado,” he said, though Cassavell clarified he didn’t actually say “freaking.”</p><p>So Machado’s reasoning for not being concerned is because he is Manny Machado?</p><p>The Padres’ third baseman is obviously alluding to the fact that he’s confident in himself. But his comments could be taken the wrong way. Some people have already accused him of being selfish. Baseball is a team sport so his response is destined to rub people, and potentially teammates, the wrong way.</p><p>Nonetheless, this is a Padres team that should bounce back in no time. They were already talented before acquiring Juan Soto and Josh Bell. So those additions only bolster the roster.</p><p>As for Manny Machado, he is in the midst of a terrific season. But it will be interesting to see if he clarifies his controversial statement. San Diego will aim to rebound against the San Francisco Giants this week.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That includes an embarrassing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-cody-bellinger-makes-insane-la-history-while-embarrassing-juan-soto-padres/">sweep</a> at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game series at Dodger Stadium that came just after the Padres made a series of huge moves ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline.</p><p>Soto expressed his thoughts on the Padres’ four-game losing skid, which started in a 7-3 home loss to the Colorado Rockies last Thursday, while also sending a strong warning to San Diego’s next opponents, the San Francisco Giants.</p><p>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/AJCassavell/status/1556472589903548416">AJ Cassavell of MLB.com</a>:</p><blockquote>Juan Soto’s thoughts on the weekend? ”Forget about it,” he said. “We start another series tomorrow, and we’re going to be ready for that.”“Don’t be surprised if you see all these guys going off next series,” Soto added.</blockquote><p>Since Juan Soto got traded by the Washington Nationals to the Padres, San Diego has only won a single game in five outings. Things started so well for the Padres when they destroyed the Rockies 9-1 in Juan Soto’s first game in San Diego uniform, but the team failed to sustain that form. Then again, the Dodgers just seem to have the Padres’ number this season, as Los Angeles has completely dominated this regular-season series between National League West division rivals.</p><p>The Padres need to start winning again — and in bunches — with the Dodgers so far away from them in the NL West standings. At the moment, the Dodgers have a huge 15.5 games lead over the rest of the division, and as pointed out by <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1556461283322503168">Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports</a>, the Padres’ chances of catching Los Angeles look mightily bleak.</p><blockquote>“The Padres are closer to last place than catching the Dodgers, who have fat 15.5-game lead in the NL West.”</blockquote><p>Speaking of the NL West, the Padres are headed back home to Petco Park to host the Giants in another three-game series that begins Monday night. The Padres will send Blake Snell to the mound, while the Giants are scheduled to start a former Dodgers pitcher in Alex Wood.</p><p>At 61-50, the Padres are given by <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds">FanGraphs</a> a 0.3 percent chance to win the NL West and a much more positive 87.2 percent odds of making the 2022 MLB postseason, as the team is tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the second and last wild-card spot in the NL.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And it wasn’t just an <i>ordinary</i> two home-run performance for Cody Bellinger, as that feat just earned him a place in Dodgers history. He became the first player in franchise history to punish the Padres in such a manner twice in a season.</p><p>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1556457080483086336">ESPN Stats &amp; Info</a>: “Cody Bellinger has two multi-HR games this season…both have come against San Diego. He is the first player in Dodgers history to have two multi-HR games against the Padres in a season.”</p><p><a href="http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/Jr6XWq" rel="noopener">Bellinger</a> entered the game batting just .205 with a mediocre .646 OPS. His game has declined seriously since his most previous All-Star season in 2019. In the three seasons that followed — up until prior to Sunday’s matchup against the Padres — Bellinger only slashed .199/.273/.371. But he can still turn it on from time to time, as evidenced by his masterclass at the plate against Yu Darvish and the Padres to end another fantastic week for the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p>It could be remembered that Cody Bellinger went deep twice also in the Dodgers’ 10-2 win at Petco Park over the Padres way back on Apr. 24.</p><p>With their latest victory, the Dodgers are now on an eight-game win streak, a span that included not only a sweep of Juan Soto and the Padres but of the San Francisco Giants to clearly show who is the <a href="http://foco.vegb.net/P0ngxz" rel="noopener">team</a> to beat in the National League West division and in the entire National League.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite hitting just .249 this year, the incredibly talented 23-year-old has a .411 on-base percentage this year. That is because of his propensity to earn walks.</p><p>He walks at such a high frequency that he actually set a mark previously held by Ted Williams. According to MLB’s Sarah Langs, with Soto’s two walks Sunday night, he now has 469 for his career.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">THERE IT IS! 468 walks for Juan Soto, tied for most before turning 24</p><p>Most walks before turning 24, since at least 1901:</p><p>Juan Soto: 468<br>Ted Williams: 468<br>Mel Ott: 466</p><p>— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) <a href="https://twitter.com/SlangsOnSports/status/1556432236748374017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 8, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That is the most by any player before the age of 24 since at least 1901.</p><p>It did not make much of a difference Sunday, as the Dodgers beat the Padres 4-0. Tyler Anderson improved to 13-1 with another stellar outing for Los Angeles. Cody Bellinger provided all of the offense the Dodgers needed, hitting two home runs.</p><p>It was a big series between the two NL West rivals. San Diego was attempting to show that their trade for Soto, alongside Josh Bell, made up the gap between the teams. Instead, the Dodgers got the sweep and increased their division lead to 15.5 games.</p><p>The Padres are still in the thick of the wild card chase though. They are just a half game behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the second spot and 3.5 behind the Braves for the top spot.</p><p>Juan Soto will need to continue his prowess at the plate if San Diego is to make the postseason. It’s going to take more than just walks too. That’s one of the key differences thus far between Soto and <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/willite01.shtml">Teddy Ballgame</a>. Williams is an absurd .344 career hitter. He was the last man to ever hit .400 for a season.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
