San Francisco Giants vs Miami Marlins Prediction

The San Francisco Giants didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but it probably doesn’t matter. While Edward Cabrera is talented, he’s been all over the place this season and isn’t somebody I’d trust on the road. The Miami Marlins also can’t score runs since the trade deadline. Whoever the San Francisco Giants throw out there, they should be able to beat one of the worst teams in baseball at home. Give me the Giants and a reasonable price.
