Washington Nationals vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Nationals in this one. I just think that the Nationals are the better team and we keep getting these prices with them based on the stigma that’s been attached to the Nationals from past down seasons. The Giants continue to have issues and I think the Nationals take advantage once again here. Give me Washington.
