Tips and Trends
Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants
Dodgers: The Dodgers haven’t been anything special in their last 27 games going 14-13. They have won 38 of their last 56 games against National League West opponents. Randy Wolf was scheduled to start, but he’s been scratched because of elbow irritation. Instead Hiroki Kuroda will make his second start since returning from the DL. Kuroda went on the DL after being hit on the head by a line drive on Aug. 15 while pitching against the Diamondbacks. In his first start back, the 34-year-old right-hander gave up three earned runs, four hits and three walks in five innings last Sunday, at home versus San Diego. “I was very satisfied with the way he came through it,” said Dodgers manager Joe Torre. “I thought he competed very well. I thought his stuff was good, but he might have just been a little bit rusty as far as command.”
The Under is 13-3-2 in the Dodgers’ last 18 division games.
The Under is 17-5-1 in Los Angeles’ last 23 games when facing a right-handed starter.
Key Injuries - Casey Blake (hamstring) is day-to-day.
Jim Thome (heel) is day-to-day.
Randy Wolf (elbow) is day-to-day.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Giants (-$1.40, O/U 7 over -$1.30): The Giants desperately need to cut into the Dodgers’ NL West lead trailing by 6 ½ games. San Francisco is 20-6 in its last 26 games at AT&T Park when meeting an opponent with a winning road mark. Matt Cain has established himself as one of the top right-handers in baseball with a 13-4 record and 2.51 ERA. The Giants, however, are 3-8 the past 11 times Cain has started against the Dodgers. Although pitching well, Cain had gone seven starts without a victory until his last outing. He recorded his 13th win last Saturday holding the Brewers to two runs on four hits in six innings during a 3-2 victory. San Francisco is 17-4 in Cain’s last 21 home outings. Cain is 6-2 at AT&T Park with a 2.53 ERA. The under has cashed in 11 of Cain’s last 15 overall starts.
The Under is 7-1 in San Francisco’s past eight games
Key Injuries - Tim Lincecum (back) is day-to-day.
