The Padres take on the Giants at Petco Park on Thursday, with San Diego needing a win in the worst way. The Padres head into Thursday six games back of a wild-card spot in the National League.
Meanwhile, San Francisco has already clinched a postseason berth but is still doing its best to finish the season and hold off the Dodgers for the NL West crown.
The Giants have won four of their last five games, while the Padres are on a five-game losing streak.
Pitching has been quite the issue for the Friars over this recent stretch. San Diego has given up at least six runs in four of its last five games, also hitting the over in four of its last five games.
Despite the Padres fading down the stretch, having Yu Darvish on the mound gives them a nice chance to pull out a win on Thursday.
In Darvish’s last outing, he pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, giving up no earned runs and fanning nine batters in a 3-2 loss. With a wee bit of run support in certain situations, Darvish could easily have more wins on the year.
With all of that being said, let’s take a closer look at why the Padres moneyline is showing serious value on Thursday night, via our latest MLB PRO Report.
