OMT no biggie you lost this wager, lots of games ahead!
Wanted to ax you're opinion about the under between the cubs and giants. both zambrano and cain have dominated their opponents, cain has been very good to say the least.
The San Francisco Giants, who will try to start another win streak Thursday in the finale of a four-game series against the host Chicago Cubs, have to like their chances. Righthander Matt Cain has been brilliant in June, going 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA as San Francisco strings together one outstanding start after another.
Cubs RH Carlos Zambrano (6-4, 4.38 ERA) vs. Giants RH Matt Cain (7-4, 3.22). Zambrano has enjoyed facing the Giants in 10 career starts, going 5-1 with a 2.58 ERA, and current Giants are hitting .206 against him. He is coming off two solid outings but has lost five of his last six decisions. Cain has dominated the Cubs in 10 career starts, holding them to a .178 average, winning five of seven decisions and posting a 2.38 ERA. In his most recent outings against Cleveland and Oakland, he allowed one earned run and seven hits over 14 innings while striking out 11 and walking one.
It has been a while since a starter got hit hard. Starters went 6-0 with a 2.01 ERA during the seven-game win streak, and Tim Lincecum gave up one run on seven innings Wednesday while fanning nine. The Giants are in first despite producing the fourth-fewest runs in the majors. San Francisco is 11 games over .500 at home, but .500 on the road.
seems like 9 is a pretty high number for these two teams and those 2 pitchers.
