The Giants finally played a clean, all-around game last night beating the Cubs, 4-2, at home. That snapped a seven-game Giants losing streak and ended a surprising six-game Cubs winning streak.

I'm going to stay on the Giants and fade the rebuilding Cubs, who are prime to be dealing some of their better players soon before Tuesday's trade deadline.

Baseball is a game of hot and cold with frequent streaks. The buy sign should be back on the Giants now - at least against this opponent. The Cubs have lost in their last four games in San Francisco.

The pitching matchup is Marcus Stroman versus Alex Cobb. I give the checkmark to Cobb. Stroman last won back on May 24. His ERA in night games this season is 5.72.

Cobb is making the transition to the National League. Current Cubs haven't seen him. That's an advantage for the veteran. Cobb has a 3.58 ERA during his last nine starts.
