Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I may get burned here because the Cubs probably should be favored. The Cubs have been the better team this season, Justin Steele has been impressive this season, and we have no idea who will get the ball for the Giants. However, this is a tough schedule spot for the Cubs after playing Sunday night and having to get on a plane to fly to the West Coast. We could see a sluggish, tired Cubs team. The Giants are also better than what they’ve shown during this losing streak, and they’re kind of due for a bounce back performance. Give me the Giants in game 1 against the Cubs.
