San Francisco at Los Angeles

Barry Bonds doesn't seem to want to break this record, yet. Since getting #754, he's gone 1-for-12. He's 6-for-22 lifetime against Brett Tomko. Tomko has been average at best for most of the season but he's shown signs of improvement. While he did give up five runs against Colorado in his last outing, he held his two prior opponents (the Mets and these Giants) to just four runs total. He's got a 3.18 ERA over those three games. Barry Zito has been a major disappointment. He's 7-10 on the year and 4-7 on the road. Over his last three starts he's gotten shelled to the tune of a 7.72 ERA. LA has the bullpen advantage here too. The Giants are 21-32 on the road and 31-44 against RHP. They score just 4.3 runs per game. LA gets 4.6 per game but a whopping 5.2 per game against lefties. They are 18-12 against southpaws, batting .289. They are also a great play for bettors in night games and division games. LA has also been a great bet in post All-Star break play when facing losing teams the past two seasons going 40-19 over that span. They are 22-7 during August overall in that span. We think Barry will have to wait at least one more game and the Dodgers get the rubber match here.
