Atlanta Braves vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think this has potential to be a bit of an under-the-radar pitcher’s duel. Sure, Logan Webb’s pitched his better baseball at home over the course of his career, but he’s still been solid in a lot of his recent outings. On the other side, Charlie Morton has allowed just one run in his last three home starts combined and has been pitching pretty well in his own right and both offenses have had a tendency to be inconsistent with the production at times this season. Give me the under.
