LA Angels vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants in this one. I just don’t have much faith in the Angels to begin with, but I really think that Tyler Anderson is due for regression and we’ve started to see it especially in his last start. Anderson for the majority of his career has been a guy that will give you an ERA in the high-fours or low-fives, and an ERA around three just was never going to be sustainable. The Giants are hitting lefties fairly well and if this ends up being a bullpen game for San Francisco, the bullpen for the Giants has also improved in recent weeks. I’ll side with San Francisco in this one.
