In this Giants vs Padres Prediction, the Padres are coming as -120 home favorites. Both teams lost their opening series but the Giants looked absolutely terrible as they got outscored by the Yankees by 13-1 runs. The Padres are coming off their first win of the season which was a shutout and they put Buehler on the mound who had a rough season last year but was far better at home, with a 2.63 ERA in 9 home starts. Roupp got torched in two of his three starts against the Padres last season so I just can’t get behind the Giants at this point. Take the Padres on the moneyline at home.
