The Giants have been the fourth best team in wOBA against lefties the past 30 days and the Padres were struggling to hit until yesterday. They were facing the backend of the Giants bullpen though who should have everyone available today. Josh Hader also threw 37 pitches and looked terrible so I would think he is unavailable after pitching two games in a row with close to 60 pitches. Sean Manaea has a 6.69 ERA in his last seven starts and Jakob Junis has been solid since returning from the IL. I think this game is much closer to 50-50 with the way the Padres have been playing lately.
Matinee finale Wednesday between NL West rivals, and my model has the Giants covering the +1.5 (-140) in nearly 70 percent of simulations. San Francisco pitcher Jakob Junis has a 1.72 ERA in 25.1 road innings, while San Diego lefty Sean Manaea is very hit-or-miss and has a 4.50 ERA in 12 innings vs. the Giants.
