Baltimore Orioles vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Orioles here. I think this is a spot for Trevor Rogers to act as the stopper for his club as I’m still not 100% committed to this Giants lineup against lefties, especially with how well Rogers has been pitching. Give me Baltimore in this one to get some revenge.
