Free MLB Pick
Everyone and his brother will be on the Giants in this game and we agree. San Francisco hits lefties well and has a very good history against Rusin with the active roster hitting a lifetime .375 against him in 40 at bats. The Giants aren’t lighting up the scoreboard so we’ll stay away from the runline and lay the extra money on the moneyline.
