Rangers vs Giants Prediction
The Rangers are coming off a terrible week where they’ve lost 5 straight games, and the offense is nonexistent at the moment. Still in the wild card race but not a team I’m thrilled to back right now. We can say similar things about the Giants, but they’re attractive in this spot with Webb on the bump. A three-time All-Star and more good than bad, he makes the Giants appealing for once. It’s also not often you can get an ace-caliber pitcher like Webb at a pick ’em price. I’ll take advantage of it. Give me the Giants.
