Giants vs Padres

Webb’s hot arm aims to cool Petco’s beach-front bats

San Francisco Giants

GIants (19-10) VS Padres (17-11)

29 Apr 2025 | 9:40 PM ET | Petco Park, San Diego

San Diego Padres
Moneyline Pick - San Francisco Giants (-125): B

San Francisco heads into Petco Park riding a two-game winning streak, leaning on a starter who’s been dominant over his last few outings. The Giants face a San Diego team dealing with multiple injuries and an ace battling through arm issues, shrinking the margin for error for the home side. San Francisco’s starter has kept the Padres quiet over several recent meetings, while a hot bat at the top of the lineup helps keep their offense rolling. San Diego’s bullpen struggles during their losing streak further tilt the matchup toward the visitors. Backing San Francisco at a manageable price earns a solid B grade for value and probability.

With the Giants rolling and the Padres patching things together, it feels like a good spot to ride the hotter, healthier side without having to pay too steep a premium.

Over/Under Pick - Under 6.5, (-110): B+

Both San Francisco and San Diego enter this matchup with strong recent pitching form, as each team’s starters have strung together dominant stretches. Injuries continue to sap some middle-order power for both sides, leaving the lineups a bit thinner than usual. With both starters historically limiting the opposing offenses and fresh bullpens ready after lighter workloads, the setup points strongly toward a low-scoring, tightly played game. Petco Park’s cool April conditions only add to the under lean.

With the way these arms are dealing and the offenses missing some key thunder, everything points to a quieter night on the scoreboard—definitely a good spot to back the under.

Spread Pick - San Diego Padres, +1.5 (-170): B

San Francisco’s ace enters this matchup on a personal good form, but the Giants’ recent success feels a bit shaky with key pieces missing from both the bullpen and lineup. Meanwhile, San Diego brings a lack of momentum despite several hitters finding their stride and a starter showing signs of rounding back into form. Given the Padres’ dominance in close games this season and their ability to scrap late, taking the +1.5 run cushion offers a safer, more appealing play despite the heavier price tag.

With how tightly these two teams match up right now, grabbing that extra run feels like buying real peace of mind—it’s hard to see this one getting out of hand either way.
