The San Francisco Giants get a lot of mileage out of their rotation, and enough from their lineup to be a strong competitor year after year. Tim Hudson has been brilliant, lasting at least seven innings in all four starts on the season, and has pitched to an ERA of 2.40. The Tribe has a couple of good young arms, but other than that the rotation is troublesome. One troublesome spot has been Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco is off to a brutal start at 0-2 and a king-sized 7.31 ERA to start the season. The Indians have been one of the worst AL teams in interleague play when posted as a dog, as they are 17-41 in their last 58. That translates directly to San Francisco who is 5-1 in their last six vs. the Tribe, and Carrasco's 0-5 mark in his last five series openers, closes the deal. Go with San Francisco.
