Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

Logan Webb isn’t as good on the road as he is at home, but he’s certainly better than Patrick Corbin, one of the worst starters in baseball these last few years. Hell, you’re probably a better pitcher than Corbin. The San Francisco Giants needs to take advantage of Games like this if they’re serious about staying in the wild card race. I’ve been fading Corbin for years, and that doesn’t change now. Give me the Giants in Game 1.
