San Francisco Giants
At 4:05pm our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's been a frustrating season so far for some very talented young fireball-throwing starters who play on this Giants team. This team has the Major League strikeouts leader in 24-year-old righthander Tim Lincecum and one of the best young southpaw strikeout artists in the National League in 25-year-old Jonathan O. Sanchez. Almost lost in the spotlight of these two exciting young pitchers is today's starter, 24-year-old right hander Matt Cain, who has been starting for this team since 2005, which is longer than either Lincecum or Sanchez. The problem with Cain is that he continues to be very inconsistent, something that has hounded him since he came into the league and this season has certainly been no different. Going back six starts for example, the Giants have alternated wins and losses in Cain's outings. Still, Cain is coming off perhaps his best start of the season, as he threw eight shutout innings and struck out 10 in SF's 2-1 victory over the Cubs on Tuesday. Los Angeles left hander Eric Stults is a 28-year-old who has only been in the league since 2006, and has only appeared in 21 Major League Games in his career, most of those as a reliever. Stults has very good stats in limited action this season, but there is no reason to think that, at his age, he has all of a sudden become an effective starter, when in the last two seasons, Stults had gone 2-4 with an ERA around five and a half runs. He's also coming off his worst start of the season, and has a 6.75 career ERA vs. the Giants. Finally, despite an ERA of about four-and-a-half runs, Giants' closer Brian Wilson continues to be one of the most effective stoppers in the league, with 23 saves from 25 opportunities. Take San Francisco.
