MLB Betting Trends
San Diego
The under is 8-2 in the last 10 San Diego road games. The under is 9-3 in the last 12 Padres games overall.
San Francisco
The Giants are 10-3 in their last 13 home games. San Francisco is 8-1 in its last nine Sunday games.
Prediction:
Even though these two pitchers have struggled some, Lauer has pitched better as of late and Rodriguez has shown his potential at times. The total here seems like it might be high considering the ballpark, so try and take advantage. The last four meetings have flip flopped between being an over and an under, which means we’re due for an under today.
