SAN FRANCISCO: Bumgarner scooped up his 13th victory of the season in a win over the Braves last Sunday. He limited Atlanta to three runs on five hits over seven innings while also walking two and striking out five. Freddie Freeman hit a two-run home run off Bumgarner in the sixth but that was where most of the damage came from. The ace now owns a 2.49 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP on the season.

OUR PICK: The Giants are now 0-6 in their last six games in Chicago but are 4-1 in Bumgarner’s last five starts against the Cubs. They’re also 12-2 in Bumgarner’s last 14 starts versus National League Central opponents and are 6-2 in his last eight starts coming off five days of rest. With Arrieta not looking quite like the Cy Young contender that he was at the start of the season, this is a good opportunity to grab the Giants as a rare underdog with Bumgarner on the hill.
