San Francisco Giants vs LA Angels Prediction
I’d side with the San Francisco Giants because I have little use for the Angels, but I’m not siding with Keaton Winn especially at this price point. A pitching matchup of Winn and Patrick Sandoval is absolutely brutal, and I want no part of it from a betting standpoint. However, with Sandoval and Winn stinking up the joint this year, I’ll side with the over. We’re talking about pitchers with extremely high ERAs and a big park. We should see fireworks. Give me the over.
