St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here as I don’t really trust McGreevy, but I’m also not sure the Giants offense is capable of taking advantage of McGreevy’s shortcomings. That being said, I think Logan Webb is still the ace of this Giants rotation, and even a 2-3 run performance from San Francisco’s offense could be enough. I think that the Giants draw first blood and this may be their best shot at a win in this series. Give me San Francisco.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: San Francisco -135
