Miami Marlins vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Marlins in this one. I get the case to be made for the Giants at home, but I’m still not sold on Adrian Houser up to this point and I think this is a situation where the Giants offense has been struggling and have been able to rely on the pitching to get them by but against Alcantara, I don’t know if that’s going to be enough. Sandy’s had issues in his last couple of outings, but I think this is a good matchup for him against a lacklustre Giants offense to get the Marlins the W. Give me Miami here.
