Giants vs Rays Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. The Giants were abysmal offensively in that series against the Padres, and I don’t see it getting any better here against a Rays team with a decent option in Joe Boyle. The Giants haven’t been very good offensively, regardless of whom they’ve gone up against. On the other side, the Rays haven’t been consistent offensively either, and I think the runs will be coming at a premium in this game. It’s also not the most exciting matchup on Friday’s card, but I’m still rolling with the under here.
