Todd Cordell<\/a> 12+ years betting experience<\/p>\n \n Updated: \u2022 4 min read<\/p>\n The San Francisco Giants rank last in xwOBA and xBA against southpaws the past month, putting them in a bad spot against Robbie Ray and the San Diego Padres (58%).<\/p>\n Photo By – Reuters Connect. San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (13) celebrates after hitting a one run home run during the fourth inning against the New York Yankees at Petco Park.<\/p>\n The San Diego Padres (58%) have feasted on sub .500 teams, ranking third in win percentage and rocking a 49-28 record.<\/p>\n San Francisco possesses a miserable offense against left-handed pitching, and that should be their undoing again tonight against Robbie Ray.<\/p>\n Let’s break it all down with my Padres vs. Giants predictions and MLB picks<\/a>\u00a0for Friday, Sept. 11.<\/p>\n Who will win Padres vs Giants tonight: San Diego Padres (59%)<\/p>\n For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n I like the San Diego Padres<\/a> to 60%.<\/p>\n The San Francisco Giants<\/a> are hitting .203 vs. lefties over the past month while ranking dead last in xBA and xwOBA. They\u2019ve also struck out at a 26.1% clip, struggling to make any sort of contact.<\/p>\n Robbie Ray<\/a> is not what he once was, but he limited power effectively in home starts with San Francisco, and he\u2019ll be back in the friendly confines of Oracle Park in this one.<\/p>\n The Padres are quietly tied with the Cubs for first in xwOBA over the last 30 days, and their bats will allow them to separate.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account I’m playing the Under to 50%.<\/p>\n The Giants are in horrible form against left-handed pitchers, and they\u2019ll have to contend with a very good bullpen when Ray exits the game. There is no path to easy offense for the home team.<\/p>\n While the Padres have performed well offensively of late, their numbers on the road aren\u2019t nearly as good. They sit 19th in xwOBA and 20th in SLG over the past month, and the pitcher-friendly environment at Oracle Park is not going to help the cause.<\/p>\n Padres vs Giants home run prediction: Manny Machado (17%)<\/p>\n Anthony Molina<\/a> is an extremely fastball-heavy pitcher, and Manny Machado<\/a> should be a prime beneficiary.<\/p>\n He has crushed right-handed fastballs over his last 25 games, generating an 18.8% barrel rate, 56.2% hard-hit rate, and .304 ISO.<\/p>\n The power has really shown up, and he\u2019ll need every bit of it to leave the park at Oracle.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting Machado has hit .316 while leading the Padres in home runs vs. relievers on the Giants roster.<\/p>\n Todd Cordell’s 2026 Transparency Record<\/p>\n ML\/RL bets: 107-93, -8.3 units Padres vs Giants weather<\/p>\n Temperatures are expected to hover in the low 60s with winds blowing out. Tough hitting conditions.<\/p>\n Padres vs Giants odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Padres 58% | Giants 43% Padres vs Giants trend<\/p>\n
