Baltimore Orioles vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

The Giants are going to find success here. Logan Webb has an ERA of 3.53, and he’s going to dominate here. Eflin has an ERA of 3.55, and he gave up only one run in his last start. However, he has a few fewer wins than Webb, and he’s not going to get any run support here. The Giants’ offense is going to get out to a fast start scoring a couple of runs and San Francisco is going to cruise to the victory. This game should be closer to a pick em, and there is just too much value with hte underdog. Back the Giants on the money line.
