(MLB) San Francisco vs. San Diego,
Money Line: -133.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Win
Giants' veteran Cobb is off a complete game 1 hit monster of a game, but his other August starts weren't as impressive, pitching for five or six innings with an ERA of 5.35 for the month. He has had much less success on the road this season. I am also not a fan of backing a pitcher after a complete game. Cobb faces Padres' Lugo who has been a steady presence this year. He had one very poor outing early in August, but has been solid since, giving up two or less runs in his last four starts. The Padres are up 2-1 in their home series. They are outhitting the Giants by a good margin (.293 BA, .812 OPS L7 compared to .226/.661). While both pens are about equal, I don't think the Giants will get as many innings from their starter on Sunday. Take the Padres in a third straight home win.
