MLB Odds: Giants vs. Padres prediction, odds, pick

Alex Wood has a 4.42 ERA. Blake Snell's ERA at the end of June was 5.60. Snells has improved his ERA since then. The Giants are the favorite. The game is a fascinating one because of Alex Wood's pitching profile. San Diego is the team that lost to the Dodgers over the weekend. They are also the new-look team. It's hard to bet against Blake.

The Giants are several games back in the National League wild card race. The new-look Padres haven't looked convincing. Alex Wood should pitch well for the Giants.

The Padres were beaten by the Dodgers over the weekend. Blake Snell is pitching better than Alex Wood right now. San Diego's new and improved lineup isn't going to remain impotent very long.

The Padres have done well against the Giants this year. Blake Snell is pitching well and San Diego's offense is bound to get better. Alex Wood is unlikely to continue San Francisco's hitting woes.
