San Francisco Giants vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers in this one. I get the case to be made for San Francisco as Webb is San Francisco’s staff ace. However, the Giants have been one of the hardest teams to trust offensively, and Texas has been much stronger at home this season. I think Texas draws first blood to start the series, so give me the Rangers in this one.
