San Francisco Giants vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Cubs to snatch a win in this finale

San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs will battle it out in an MLB encounter at Oracle Park. This will be the finale of a three-game series, and the Giants are in the lead here. Will the Cubs avoid a sweep defeat here?

The San Francisco Giants will look to complete a sweep in this series following a strong start in the first two games. In the opener, the San Francisco Giants pulled off a 5-1 win and then won by one run in game 2. However, the San Francisco Giants have lost their last two series to this, as the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated them. Heading into this finale, the San Francisco Giants are 39-42 and are seated 4th in the National League West Division.

The Chicago Cubs are coming off consecutive defeats in this series, and will look to do better in this finale. Looking at the winning odds in this one, the Chicago Cubs do have a good chance and will be confident they will step up. In a look at their last series to this, the Chicago Cubs have lost to the New York Mets and could be swept here, while their last series win was against the San Francisco Giants. The Chicago Cubs have a 37-44 record so far this season and are seated bottom spot of the National League Central Division. 

The Chicago Cubs have not suffered a sweeping defeat in this series for a long time, and I do not expect this to happen here. However, the San Francisco Giants have been decent in this series, and we can expect more from them. This should be a tight encounter, but taking a chance on the Chicago Cubs, given the winning odds, is worth it.
