San Francisco Snapped Road Slump Over The Weekend

The Giants entered their two-game road series against the Oakland Athletics with an 0-7 SU record in their last seven road games. San Francisco finally put an end to that road skid over the weekend with a 7-3 win on Saturday and a 6-4 win on Sunday.

This three-game road series against the Padres will offer a much sterner road test than the 41-68 SU Athletics did. San Francisco has won each of its last two games against San Diego since going 0-5 SU in its previous five games against them.

San Diego Failed Its Road Test In Los Angeles

There is no shame in losing to a team as good as the Los Angeles Dodgers. But after acquiring Juan Soto and Josh Bell before the MLB Trade Deadline, the Padres were hoping to prove they were a legitimate World Series contender over the weekend; and instead they lost all three games in Los Angeles by four runs or more and by a combined score of 20-4.

Now the Padres return home, where they are 5-1 SU over their last six games. Bettors taking San Diego as their Giants vs Padres prediction are hoping that home field advantage and a softer opponent leads to a Padres victory on Monday night.

Giants vs Padres Pick & Insights

Giants: Keys to Victory

The Giants are 12-14 SU over their last 26 games, but that slump is heavily skewed by an 0-8 SU record against the red-hot Dodgers. San Francisco's offense and pitching have performed   well enough against teams other than the Dodgers of late that there might actually be some value on them as a Giants vs Padres prediction underdog in this one.

Padres: Keys to Victory

Blake Snell's current stretch of dominance includes a 6-3 win over the Giants in which Snell pitched six innings and allowed only three hits and one run with 11 strikeouts. A similar outing on Monday night would likely put San Diego in position to score a win as a Giants vs Padres pick at home.
