San Francisco Giants vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction

I’m on the Orioles here. I just think that this is a favorable matchup for Baltimore as I still don’t trust the Giants against a lefty and Cade Povich is one of the better arms in this Oriole rotation while I think the Baltimore bats are waking up and will get to Adrian Houser who is still one of the weaker links of this Giants rotation. Give me Baltimore.
