San Francisco Giants vs Houston Astros Prediction

I’m not running to the window to set the Astros back on the road, especially with the inconsistency Spencer Arrighetti has been this season. However, Kyle Harrison has also been hot and cold this season and has had issues pitching at home. This pitch match suggests there are going to be fireworks. Large park and competent queues. Reasonable total. Give me the upper hand in the first game between the Astros and Giants.
