T.M. Selection: Giants (UNDERDOG U OF THE U).

The Giants held on for a 7-6 victory last night and I look for them to get the job done at the end of the night here too.

Dinelson Lamet (1-0, 1.80 ERA) gets the call for the Padres and he allowed one run off five hits while striking out eight over five innings in a win over the toothless D-Backs on Saturday. Lamet was limited to 80 pitches and he'll be under a count tonight as well.

Kevin Gausman (0-0, 4.50) came on in relief in a loss to the Dodgers last week, allowing three runs (just two earned) over four frames of work.

I think Lamet struggles in this difficult road venue and I expect this hungry home dog to step into the batters box and deliver a grand slam!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Giants.
