The San Diego Padres are going to struggle to win games this season, simply because the offense is getting beat on a regular basis. That isn't to say that they will have stretches where the offense gets things going. The Padres have scored 3 runs or less in 37 games already this season. The Giants haven't exactly been burning up the bases either, completing 24 games at 3 runs or less. The Giants have a solid pitcher on the mound for this one on Tim Cain, but the Giants also have a long history of scoring little when he is on the mound, and he has pitched to a 21-9 UNDER mark in his last 30 as a road favorite. The Giants have also played just five of their last 17 OVER the total vs. a team below .400. It’s hard to trust the Giants as a road favorite as well, as they are just 4-9 in their last 13. And when Cain gets the ball on the road as a favorite of -110 to -150 the Giants have taken the donut in their last five at 0-5. Cain has pitched 8 of his last 11 starts in San Diego to the UNDER, and the Padres have had his number as the Giants are just 6-17 when he gets the ball vs. San Diego. Play on San Diego and take the UNDER.
