This is a 10* on SF

Division leaders clash in San Francisco tonight as the 76-68 Braves take on the 95-52 Giants. It just so happens that both teams are off two straight losses. Atlanta missed out on a chance to end their losing streak when yesterday’s scheduled game vs. Colorado got rained out. San Francisco lost 7-4 to the Padres. But we like the Giants for several reasons tonight. One is that they’ve gotten the job done over a much longer stretch than has Atlanta. The Giants not only have the best won-loss record in MLB, they are also #1 in the betting world, up 38.0 units for the year. The Braves were below .500 entering August. They’ve taken advantage of a weak division. San Francisco has had to fend off the Dodgers, who have the second best record in the majors, all season long. Logan Webb is responsible for a significant chunk of the Giants’ profitability as he has an 18-4 team start record and is +15.6 units. The Giants have won his last seven starts overall and are 9-0 when he takes the mound at home. Webb has 2.14 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in those last seven starts and 1.69 ERA and 0.98 WHIP at home this year. Because of the rain, Atlanta pushed back Ian Anderson’s start to today. The right-hander beat the Giants back on August 29th, however that was at home. Anderson has since given up three homers, six runs and 10 hits in eight innings. The Giants had won nine in a row before losing each of the last two days. We’ve got to back them with Webb pitching on Friday. Play on SAN FRANCISCO
