Giants at Padres Prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends and stats for August 19 - NBC Sports

Giants at Padres under the lights at Petco Park, with Kai-Wei Teng taking the mound for San Francisco against Nick Pivetta for San Diego. San Francisco arrives after snapping a seven-game skid; San Diego comes in on a four-game losing streak after a five-game win streak. The four-game set could be a back-and-forth affair, especially with the specified pitching matchup and the recent momentum swings for both clubs.

Odds lean toward the Padres on the moneyline (-232) with the Giants at +190, while the spread sits at Padres -1.5 and the total at 8.0. NBC Sports Bet projects betting lines by weighing past performance, park factors and matchups, and it flags a Padres play on the moneyline, a Giants plus-1.5 angle, and no strong lean on the total.

Season series drama is alive, as San Diego owns a 7-3 edge this year. San Francisco has scuffled (2-7 in their last nine), while San Diego has cooled (0-4 in their last four), yet the Padres still hold home-field NL strength (5-4 in their last nine at home). The night’s fantasy takeaway centers on whether Teng can stabilize against a Padres lineup that has shown steady cadence of thump when he’s struggling, and whether Pivetta can anchor a San Diego win with sustained contact and strikeout upside.

Given Teng’s struggles, should fantasy managers expect high upside from him tonight or lean toward safer options elsewhere?How does Pivetta’s recent form shape fantasy decisions for tonight’s game and the rest of the week?What are the key fantasy takeaways if this game tilts in San Diego’s favor?Any under-the-radar fantasy plays to consider in this series for diversification?
