Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
It would be nice to know who the Giants are throwing out there, but it probably wouldn't change my pick. Kyle Hendricks is getting his act together and has allowed just 1 run in his last 14.1 innings. Kyle Hendricks has also owned the Giants throughout his career, holding current hitters to a .125 batting average with 18 strikeouts in 80 at bats. There's no stepping in front of that. Give me the Cubs to bounce back in game 2 against the Giants.
