San Francisco Giants vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’m on the Giants here. The offense was sluggish for the most part on Friday before showing signs of life late, but I still think the Giants can do enough here. Logan Webb’s pitched his far better baseball at home over the course of his career, and the Tigers are still not a team I’m trusting offensively right now, as the offense at times has looked borderline lifeless. I think San Francisco is the slightly better lineup right now and even without knowing who the Tigers are sending out for the start, I think Logan Webb’s still the better option. Give me the Giants.
