Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Giants in this one. I just can’t trust Eduardo Rodriguez in a starter’s capacity right now, and I think that the Giants can get to him here. Is Seymour a reliable option for the Giants? Not necessarily, but the Giants have the far more trustworthy bullpen when it gets to the later stages of this game and I think they get the job done here. Give me San Francisco here.
