Padres minus $1.05 hosting Giants
What’s worse than backing the Padres? It’s taking the Giants on the road. I want no part of that especially at Petco Park when facing Jhoulys Chacin.
Chacin is a bum on the road with a 6.96 ERA, but he’s the nuts at home. No pitcher has been more effective at Petco Park this season than Chacin with a 1.86 home ERA and 7-2 record. Chacin has a good history against the Giants, too, with a 3-0 mark and 3.04 ERA.
The Giants are 21-45 on the road. They are 3-13 in their past 16 away games.
San Francisco has managed only 16 runs in its last seven games, an average of 2.2 runs per game. The Giants have hit the fewest homers in the majors and rank second-to-last in runs.
The Giants are pitching Jeff Samardzija, who has a 7.27 ERA in three appearances against San Diego this season. He’s 3-7 with a 5.05 ERA on the road this year.
The Padres have beaten the Giants in nine of 13 meetings this season. San Diego is 4-0 versus San Francisco the past four times Chacin has started against them.
I opened my college football season with a 2-0 Saturday and am 9-3 on my last 12 premium/free baseball plays. I also won my lone CFL play last week pushing my CFL record to 14-5 this year.
