Chicago White Sox vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Giants in this one. Hudson is supposed to be the opener for Erick Fedde, who has struggled on the road this season and Adrian Houser’s done a good job turning things around in May after a rough start to the season through the first month or so of the year. This feels like one of the more winnable spots for the Giants right now, so I’ll back San Francisco here.
