San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants Prediction

Leading into Monday night’s NL West showdown between San Diego and San Francisco, the over-under line is set at 7 runs. With Mike Clevinger and Carlos Rodon on the mound, look for this to be a low-scoring game. San Francisco hasn’t scored more than 3 runs in over a week of games, while the Padres offense continues to be up and down. I recommend taking the under.
