Sfo Giants vs Mil Brewers
San Francisco Giants +146

Both Matt Cain and Yovani Gallardo are having great seasons for the Giants and Brewers, but I'm giving the edge to San Francisco and Cain at this price. Cain is 9-1 on the year with a 2.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 14 starts (Giants record is 11-3 in all of his starts). Gallardo has been good, but not great over his last three starts, earning a 3.71 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, resulting in a record of 1-2 in those games. The Brewers do not have a very imposing home record at just 18-16. At +130 or better the Giants have a ton of value, particularly with Cain on the mound.


Min Twins vs Stl Cardinals
20* No-Doubt Rout on St. Louis Cardinals -150

Take the Cardinals over the Twins with Adam Wainwright on the mound in St. Louis. Wainwright has been exceptional at home this season, posting a 2.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 8 starts. The Twins overall have been awful on the road this season, and their starter tonight, Glen Perkins, hasn't helped matters. Perkins has 3 road starts this season in which he is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. The Cardinals have struggled a little as a team against left-handed starters, hitting only .243, but they've still managed a 12-10 record versus southpaws this year. The Cardinals start this three game series off with a victory behind another strong outing from Wainwright.
