San Francisco Giants vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. Max Fried just hasn’t looked right since returning from the IL and while the Giants have had no luck in this series, I think that Logan Webb is the more trustworthy starter. He’s been far more effective at home over the course of his career and this season included, and the Giants’ offense has hit lefties far better than they’ve hit righties this season. Give me San Francisco to avoid the sweep here.
