Too much undeserved respect is being given to the Padres here. All the Giants do is win. They are 15-4 in their last 19 games and have been the most profitable team for bettors this season with the best record in baseball. 

The Giants also have their most effective pitcher going - Logan Webb. The season record shows Webb at 10-3 with a 2.79 ERA. But that's counting a slow start. Webb hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in 16 of his last 18 starts. He also hasn't lost a game since May 5. 

The Padres have collapsed. Yu Darvish hasn't helped. He's been a major disappointment with an 8-10 record and 4.13 ERA. Darvish has allowed four or more earned runs in six of his last nine starts. He's recorded just one victory since June 21. 

Given the pitching matchups and price, it's a no-brainer to back the Giants.
