Free Houston Astros vs San Francisco Giants MLB Prediction:
The current Astros are batting only 7-for-42 against Kevin Gausman, so I’m expecting the Giants’ hurler to bounce back after a terrible display against Pittsburgh.
Furthermore, San Francisco’s relievers could be an X-factor. The Giants bullpen has recorded the 6th-lowest ERA in the majors since the All-Star break, while the Astros ‘pen has registered the 13th-highest ERA in that span.
Take the Giants at home in the opener.
