Giants vs. Cubs prediction: Bank on Carlos Rodon at home

Giants during the regular season last year. San Francisco’s on the verge of missing the postseason.

The Cubs are at Frisco and Adrian Sampson (0-1, 3.20) starts for Chicago.

Sampson has been solid enough, giving up seven runs over his past 17 ²/₃ innings. But Yo Adrian, when are you going to win? He’s made six starts and can’t seem to put one on the left side of the ledger.
