Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be a pitchers duel. Steele has been good this season and in his last start he gave up zero runs. Webb has been a bit inconsistent this season, but he is going to do enough in this game to slow down the Cubs. This is going to be a game where the Giants struggle to get even two runs, and the under is going to cash.
