Stephen Nover's Tuesday Top of the Line
(MLB) San Francisco vs. San Diego,
Money Line: -118.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Loss
The Giants are decimated by injuries, have a cold pitcher going and are facing San Diego's best starter. Add it up and it should spell a Padres victory.

Tyson Ross is better than his 10-10 record. He's an All-Star pitcher who hasn't gotten much run support this season. Ross is in much better form than San Francisco's scheduled starter, Chris Heston.

Ross has a 1.73 ERA in his last four starts. His ERA in seven home starts since the All-Star break is 2.78.

Heston is 0-5 with a 5.12 ERA in his last eight starts. San Francisco has lost during Heston's past seven outings.

The Giants have managed only five victories during their past 21 road games.

The Padres are healthy while the Giants are minus Joe Panik and Brandon Belt along with three of their top four outfielders. Sidelined are Hunter Pence, Gregor Blanco and Norichika Aoki.
