St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m taking St. Louis here. I haven’t been the biggest fan of St. Louis over the course of the second half of hte season, but there’s no denying that they’ve been the better team in this series, and the Giants just look like a team that’s waved the white flag on the season. I think the value here is on St. Louis so I’ll side with the Cardinals in this one.
