Giants Predictions: Projected Rotation:
- RH Johnny Cuento
- LH Ty Blach
- LH Derek Holland
- RH Chris Stratton
- RH Jeff Samardzija
One of the weakest links of the San Francisco Giants, is the amount of star quality pitching they have on their rotation. They need to stay consistent as Cuento and Blach are going to be the ring leaders of this rotation. They must keep up to pace with their new lineup as well.
Giants Predictions: Projected Closer:
- RH Mark Melancon
The comeback of Mark Melancon. He was the one significant addition to the 2017 Giants, signed for four years and $62million to fix a broken bullpen.

2018 San Francisco Giants Prediction:
The Giants finally got some fire power in their lineup, however it is going to take a lot for a team to go from dead last all the way to the top in a very competitive division and league. Remember they were not the only ones who got better this offseason.

The only problem that faces them is the fact of everyone coming together as a team and starting the season off in the right way. Going up against the Los Angeles Dodgers will be a true test to see if they are ready. The Giants will finish with a season record of 81-81.
