San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants
Sunday, April 07, 2024 – 04:05 PM ET at Oracle Park
The AI Model likes the Giants to earn a 5-3 victory over the Padres in today’s afternoon baseball game. Currently, you can find the Giants at -1.5 at Caesars Sportsbook at a +125 price.
San Diego Padres
The Padres will send out Matt Waldron for today’s matchup against the Giants. Waldron struck out 31.8% of batters in his first start of the season. However, he also allowed a .238 ISO and wOBA of .485 to those 22 batters.
Waldron is a hit-or-miss kind of pitcher. But he’s facing a Giants lineup that should have six batters with an above-average ISO and seven batters with an above-average wOBA against righties.
San Francisco works the count against righties and will drive up Waldron’s pitch count while finding ways to get on base. Don’t be surprised when Waldron adds lots of strikeouts but also gives up lots of extra-base hits.
San Francisco Giants
He’ll face Logan Webb of the Giants, who is ultimately San Francisco’s ace. Last year, he only walked 3.8% of batters and allowed an ISO of .121 and a wOBA of .288 while earning 62.6% of strikeouts.
Webb will take on a spotty Padres lineup that doesn’t walk much. The Padres have many inconsistencies in their lineup and really no one to rely on for heavy power.
