San Diego vs San Francisco -172 O/U 9
So this handicap should not be very complicated at all. The Giants are 2.5 games ahead of the Dodgers and they can see the division light at the end of the tunnel. San Diego on the other hand is trying to hold on to wildcard life being +5 games over .500 but their issue is that they have one of the most overrated pitcher in baseball on the mound tonight. As a Cubs fan, I know too well that Jake Arrieta is a shell of himself pitching at a 6.09 FIP this year and only 6.5 strike outs per 9. I shall never eat Kale again. Anthony Desclafini on the other hand for the Giants has been dealing. 3.75 FIP with an 8.45 Ks/9 innings. Looking the hitting/base running, the Padres have greatly regressed down to 15th in wRC+ while the Giants are 4th! This is a no brainer for me. Grab the Giants 1st 5 -.5
Giants 1st 5 -.5 _130 – 2 stars
