Los Angeles Angels vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m taking the Angels here. I know the Giants have been the better team by a fair margin so far in this series and I don’t think that the Giants get the sweep here. Soriano hasn’t been the dominant arm he was through the first month of the season, but I think he’s the better option in this game and I think the Angels salvage something and avoid getting swept here. Give me the Angels in this one.
