Tim Lincecum is certainly a premier pitcher for the Giants, and his ERA says that as it stands at 2.53 on the season. He had one rocky stretch where he allowed 19 runs over four games, covering 22.1 innings. Otherwise that ERA would stand at 1.77 on the season. He has pitched better in his last six games than any point in the season where he has allowed just 6 runs, covering 46.2 innings for a slender 1.16 ERA. That puts a lot of pressure on the San Francisco lineup to score big to push this one over the total. The fact is that their offense has been sluggish, plating 3 runs or less in nine of their last 13 games. The Giants are even worse offensively vs. left-handers, leading them to a 19-7-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 27 games. Atlanta has struggled offensively vs. winning teams, and the result has been 12-4-1 to the UNDER in their last 17 facing one. Play on the UNDER here.
