St. Louis at San Francisco

The San Francisco Giants were swept four straight games at home vs. the Cincinnati Reds. Having yesterday off and seeing a different uniform on the other side of the field should help them at home. The Cardinals have not played well themselves, losing three of four to the LA Dodgers in their last series. The Cards' offense has been problematic all season, and in the four game set vs. LA they managed a grand total of 4 runs, and were outscored in the last two by a 15-1 count. Marco Gonzales made his major league debut his last time out, and he was blasted for 5 runs in five innings. Tim Lincecum may be pitching better than he has in quite awhile as he is off a no-hitter, and has allowed 3 runs or fewer in seven of his last nine starts. St. Louis is 2-5 in their last seven vs. a right hander, and San Francisco owns a 16-7 mark in Lincecum's last 23 starts. Make the play on San Francisco.
