The Giants will be hosting the Padres for the final game of the four-game set between the two squads as they look salvage the series and end it with a tie. After losing the first two contests in close fashion, San Francisco was able to clutch the game away from San Diego in Game 3 with a score of 6-5.
San Diego led the hosts 5-0 up until the fifth inning. However, seemingly tired of losing close games against their divisional foes, San Francisco woke up through Patrick Bailey's RBI-double. This was followed up by Matt Chapman's solo home run, Heliot Ramos' two-run double, and Jung Hoo Lee's sacrifice fly that drove in Tyler Fitzgerald.
By the end of the seventh frame, the hosts have taken the lead at 6-5. Reliever Randy Rodriguez recorded his first career save in his 26th appearance for San Francisco this season.

Padres vs. Giants picks and game prediction
San Francisco is slightly favored in the closing game of the series. A vital part of this is starter Robbie Ray's solid season on the mound so far. The former Cy Young Awardee will carry his 7-1 record and 2.43 ERA across 12 starts against a struggling Dylan Cease who will take the bump for San Diego. Cease has just won one of his 12 appearances for the Friars this year and has produced a 4.66 ERA.
Run Line: SF +1.5 (-212)
