LA Angels vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. Harrison has had some ups and downs, but he’s still one of the better arms in that rotation and the Giants still have a solid enough bullpen to overcome whatever we’re going to see from the Angels and Ben Joyce. The Angels have looked good in this series and have been able to surprise some folks when they least expect it, but I think the Giants avoid the sweep in this one. Give me San Francisco here.
