Nationals vs Giants prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Giants given the lack of offense recently. However, Corbin has been arguably the worst pitcher in baseball over the last few years, and he hasn’t been any better through 10.1 innings this season. Corbin has allowed 16 hits and 8 runs this season, with 4 walks. If the Giants can’t find their offense in this game, something is wrong. I want nothing to do with the Nats in this game. Give me the Giants and the RL for max betting value.
