MIT Simulator - MLB Thursday Padres vs Giants Winner
MIT Simulator Score - San Diego 4.47, San Francisco 3.51 - Projected Margin: 0.96 - Current Money Line: +109 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 1 run on a game with a home dog on the money line. Key factors noted: The Giants Chris Stratton has a 6.43 ERA in his career versus the Padres. San Diego's Bryan Mitchell has never faced San Francisco and that should help keep the Giants bats off-balance. Mitchell was strong in his most recent start versus the World Champion Astros. Stratton also faced a tough opponent, Dodgers, but had 4 walks in 5 innings as he struggled to command his pitches. Padres got some added confidence at the plate with playing their last 3 games at Coors Field (averaged 5.3 runs per game). The Giants have been held to 3 runs or less in 6 of their last 7 games. This one looks like an upset! Simulation forecasting a margin of 0.96 runs in favor of home dog San Diego per MIT Simulator. Play: PADRES
