Giants vs. Padres Prediction: Friday, September 6th

Few teams have been as good as the Padres have been this summer and as we enter September, not much has changed as they’ve won 4 of their last 6 games. As they continue to march into the playoffs, they’ll host the Giants tonight for a weekend series and it should kick off favorably for the home team given the matchups here.

Mason Black will start for the Giants tonight in just his 5th start of the season and it may be a rough one as the Padre bats hit right-handed pitching well and Black holds an ERA of 7.45 on the season. On the opposite end, Michael King will start for San Diego and he had a superb August making 5 starts and holding down an ERA of 2.73! 

That’s a huge edge already and considering the Padres are 39-33 at home this season, I would imagine they take this one tonight, and convincingly so, on the run line at -1.5 to start our MLB predictions!

We have the Padres winning and covering to start off our MLB best bets today, so now let’s dive into some player props that will help us get there. First baseman Jake Cronenworth is the name that sticks out for me tonight as he’s hitting .364 in the last 7 days that includes 3 multi-hit games during that time span. 

He is also a lefty bat and Black has struggled against those this season allowing an average of .342 and an OPS of 1.022. I’m not saying he’s going to hit a home run tonight or anything, but he should go over 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs as the offense should pop off in this one and he’s batting 5th.

The final of my MLB predictions for this contest will back another player prop as Michael King has been so good lately. He has struck out 33 batters over the last 26.1 innings pitched and this Giants team in their past series held a K-rate of an alarming 34.2%. That sets up King well to go over his 6.5 strikeouts tonight. Even at heavy juice, it's worth a play as he’s locked in right now.
