The read
Here's the deal, kid. San Diego's starter Nick Pivetta has been a workhorse this season with an ERA of 2.87 (2.87) and a WHIP of 0.95 (0.95), shutting down hitters to a measly .192 batting average against.
He's up against San Francisco's Kai-Wei Teng, who's been knocked around like a pinata with a 9.90 ERA (9.90). Add to that, the Padres' lineup, led by Tatis Jr.'s 17 homers and .264 average, has more than enough firepower to cover the 1.5 run spread against the Giants.
Let's ride with the Padres on this one.
