SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL: 4/6/14
DODGERS/GIANTS OVER 6 1/2 (I'm going large on this one, lines way too low)
Here's why...
total runs in 2014 so far:
Giants - 2nd
Dodgers - 9th
I know it's early but Baseball is a game of streaks and these two offenses are hot out of the gate.
Giants runs so far...9,4,2,8,8,7. They scored more than 6.5 runs 4 out of 6 games this year by themselves.
Matt Cain is on the bump for the Giants. He looked very hittable in his start @ the D-Backs earlier in the week. 5 IP, 2k, 7 hits, 2 walks, 2 ER. Coming off his off year last year with a 4.00 era, I just don't think he's the same pitcher as earlier in his career. Here's what the Dodgers did to Cain in 2013...
Either 4/11 .364 avg
Puig 3/8 .375 avg (1 hr, 1bb)
CC 5/15 .333 avg (2 sb, 1bb)
Hanley 2/7 .286 avg (2 bb)
Kemp 2/8 .250 avg (1hr, 3bb)
Uribe 5/11 .455 avg (5rbi)
The Dodgers counter with Grienke. He looked sharp in his opener, and while I think he's a great pitcher, we all know his tendency to get rocked. San Fran's offense can put it to him in a hurry.
I think this is a great bet and can end the week on a positive note! Good Luck to everyone!
