San Francisco has also been profitable with its ace on the hill, winning all five of Bumgarner’s last five starts. They’re also 5-0 in his last five outings following a quality start in his last appearance and are 10-1 in his last 11 outings versus a National League Central opponent.
OUR PICK: The Giants are in a perfect spot to win the series against the Cubs after not having the edge in the pitching matchup coming into the weekend. Facing Jake Arrieta on Friday (a loss) and Jon Lester on Saturday (a win) against Jake Peavy and Matt Cain, the Giants could have easily been starring at an 0-2 deficit coming into today. Instead, Cain out-pitched Lester and now the Giants can take two-of-three, which they should. They’re 4-1 in Bumgarner’s last five home starts versus the Cubs and are 5-2 in his last seven starts overall versus Chicago.
