Why the Giants on Wednesday at -130...the Giants come into the afternoon affair after a 6-3 W over the Marlins on Tuesday. Derek Holland will toe the rubber for San Fran who is coming off of a quality road start against the Dodgers where he allowed 2 ER through 5 IP on 5 H, 7 Ks and 2 BBs. Holland allowed 2 HRs in that game to the Dodgers which should not factor negatively into your handicapping as he has allowed just 2 HRs at home on the season through 25 IP. Looking deeper into Holland's LS, he experienced a velocity jump above SA with all four pitches, which is a positive considering he posted a season low 7% LD% in that start. Going to back Holland at home with a BOB Score of 126 against an underexposed Marlins lineup with a combined 20 ABs and a daytime record of 3-1 to match a 2.01 ERA over 22 IP on 16 H/1HR. Marlins ranking 23/30 vs. LHP with a .233 BA and 14 HRs. Marlins will send Jose Urena to the bump who comes into Wednesday's start after a season best performance against the Orioles where he picked up the W while allowing 0 ERs through 8 IP on 3 H, 4 Ks and 1 BB. In Urena's L2 Starts he has experienced a dip in velocity with all three pitches including a SLv dip from 86.4 mph to 84.8 mph (SA 86.3 mph) in his LS. With a season high of 112 pitches thrown in his LS, we will fade Urena and his daytime record of 0-4 to match a 6.43 ERA over 21 IP on 24 H and 4 HRs. Giants with a combined 46 ABs vs. Urena to match a .391 BA/.429 OBP and 2 HRs. Going to back this Giants bullpen at home who brings a 2.15 ERA over their L14 Days. Giants currently taking 60% of the action with no line movement.
