I don't think he's undervalued at all. Kid's great, no doubt, but I think the -130 price tag is a result of how well he's pitched. The Giants have only been higher than a -130 fave once this season (Lincecum/Pineiro two weeks ago), so I don't think this line is at all surprising. Say what you want about the Rockies - their early season struggles were in many ways predictable - but SF being -130 is realistic. Lincecum's only made it through 7 once in his 4 starts, so the Giants' dreadful pen will play a part in this game.
Also, -130 is the worst number currently available.
