Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I think that both Ben Brown and Trevor McDonald each have solid stuff on the mound and both are up against two lacklustre offensive units to where I think this game cruises under the total so give me the under in this one.
