San Francisco is 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win and 9-2 in their last 11 game three matchups while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 games against the NL Central.
Pick
I’m backing the Giants here. I know the Giants can be inconsistent at the best of times, but the Cardinals, while it feels like a hot streak is around the corner, continue to disappoint to start the year and that includes starting Steven Matz who clearly doesn’t have it this season. I just think the Giants are the better team with a big pitching edge, so give me San Francisco in this one.
