San Francisco exploded for nine runs after scoring a total of four in its first four games of the season, and the Giants went on to defeat the Padres 9-3 on Tuesday night. What has been overlooked amid the Giants' hitting futility is their pitching, as they have allowed just 11 runs in their past four games. Both teams are 3-1-1 UNDER this season, and San Diego hasn't been lighting up the scoreboard either, averaging just 2.4 runs per game. The Giants' bullpen has a 2.30 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. Adrian Houser finished 8-5 with a 3.31 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP in 2025, and San Diego batters have five extra-base hits against him in 62 at-bats. Nick Pivetta was shelled in his first start, allowing six runs in three innings against the Tigers. Pivetta did have a 2.87 ERA and a .195 opponent batting average last season. Two plays here: Take the Giants (Max), and bet the UNDER.
