The San Francisco Giants hung a 5-spot on the Phillies last night and grabbed the win. They come back with All-Star pitcher Matt Cain to do battle with Cole Hamels. Cain has had a good season, but his road ERA is 1.3 runs greater than what he has done at home. He goes against Cole Hamels who has been no slouch himself, riding into this contest with an 11-3 mark backed by a 3.07 ERA, which is an even better 2.76 at home. Cain has not solved the Phillies over his career where he stands at 1-4, while Hamels has a 5-3 mark vs. the Giants in his career, with three of them complete games. The Phillies enter with a 39-19 mark as a favorite of -110 to -150 over their last 58, while the Giants have had problems in expected pitchers-duels with a total of 7 to 8.5 where they have won just three of their last 10. Play on Philadelphia.
