Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. Maybe it’s a square play considering the pitching matchup, but I think this has all of the makings of a pitcher’s duel when all is said and done. Cease has been one of the best strikeout pitchers in baseball this season and Logan Webb has started to find his former self in some of his recent starts. I think this is a 3-2 kind of game so give me the under.
