T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants.

I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The Giants haven't looked good in their games lately, they have really been struggling in their 2 most recent series with some really bad teams in the league and they have been in their own ballpark for those games. They have a good team though and I don't expect them to continue slumping at home for very long before snapping out of it. I expect them to bounce back here and it's not like the White Sox have looked great in their games lately. The White Sox have lost 2 series in a row now and they are giving up a ton of runs in their games. A common theme for them this year has been their bullpen blowing a ton of late leads so even if the White Sox get a lead in this game, I don't expect it to last very long. Lance Lynn (1-1, 6.19 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has only made 3 starts but has been giving up a ton of runs in all of them and I expect the bats to wake up for the Giants here. He also missed a majority of the season with an injury and I think that is still bothering him since he hasn't looked good at all. I think the Giants are going to put up some runs on him here. Alex Cobb (3-3, 5.48 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he hasn't looked great this year but he has been a lot better in his previous 3 starts and I expect him to continue getting better. He also has some good pitching from their bullpen to follow once he is taken out and I can see the White Sox struggling to put up runs on this staff here. I like the Giants to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Giants.
