At first glance this is not a popular pick but one that is warranted, nonetheless. For openers Barry Zito has been black-and-white on the road as opposed to home this season. That's confirmed by his 3.95 road ERA as opposed to a 6.57 ERA in San Francisco this year. Toss in the fact that Zito lost to Edison Volquez in a head-to-head matchup earlier this season in Frisco and we've suddenly got a motivated dog in a great spot here tonight. The clincher is Zito's 11-1 record in his last 12 road starts during August. You know what to do - back Zito and the Giants here tonight.
