Giants vs Yankees Prediction 

San Francisco comes into this game looking for their first run of the season, which is never a good sign when you have played two games. The Giants are going against Will Warren, who is very average, so they should find some baserunners here. New York is facing Mahle, who had elite numbers last season in limited action. I think the Giants will finally get some offense here and while I don’t love Mahle, I do like the Giants with plus money. Take San Francisco to win at home.
