Friday MLB Pick

The San Diego Padres got to the San Francisco Giants bullpen yesterday and went on to beat their NL West rival, 6-4. Tonight the Pads will try to do it again when the two clubs play the second game of their 4-game set at Petco Park. Expected starters are Joe Musgrove for the Friars and lefty Kyle Harrison for the Giants. Harrison started 7 games last year for San Francisco and was 1-1 with an elevated ERA of 4.15. His lone loss was to the San Diego Padres when they torched him for 6 runs on 6 hits over 5-2/3 innings, resulting in a 6-1 Padres win. The Padres ace and San Diego native Musgrove was roughed up in his first outing this year against the LA Dodgers in Korea but was lights out in 2023, with a record of 10-3 and a 3.05 ERA. Musgrove always delivers in front of his home crowd and the Padres have won 3 straight against the Giants and 6 of the last 7.
