San Francisco Giants Recap

The San Francisco Giants will try to pick up some momentum after salvaging a win from their series with the Rockies after a 3-2 win in Sunday’s series finale. Despite the victory, the Giants still lost the series, starting the second half of the season on a low note after their series win over the Twins prior to the all-star break.

LA Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. I’m concerned for the Dodgers right now as this pitching staff is banged up. Sure, Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to come back this week, but I think there will always be looking over the shoulder when it comes to injury concerns and that’s the last thing the Dodgers need right now. The Giants are a better team than what we saw in their series in Colorado and they usually play the Dodgers fairly tough. I’ll side with San Francisco here.
