San Francisco Giants vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. I don’t love the price, but I’m not trusting the Giants to consistently string wins together with the offense as shaky as it is. Gore’s been the better option at home in a lot of his starts this season and I look for the Rangers to back him up to snap this skid. Give me the Rangers.
