Lincecum is a dog

[SouthBayGame]

vs Kershaw. I like the value here. Lincecum looked sharp last time out after he was left on the bench at the all star game

The oddsmakers are a joke

[hothandsmgee]

How is he the dog? It makes no sense

[No coincidences]

Kershaw has 22 K's in 14 career IP vs. SF -- both wins. He's given up 2 runs in those games.

[absolute]

can someone find how he has fared as a dog? i have a feeling not very well.

[SouthBayGame]

Thanks No Coin, where do you get the stats so fast

Thanks No Coin, where do you get the stats so fast

Just looked 'em up.

I'd be on SF here, though -- Kershaw had a clunker his last time out, and he's been known to go cold when his control disappears.

With that being said, this line is bizarre.

[No coincidences]

Kershaw's also been very average at night -- 5-5 with a 3.91 ERA.

[Afrot69]

After Kershaw's last outing i'm staying away.

[thebayareabeast]

If this game was in SF it would be Lincecum -154

Fuk Dodger Stadium he will own them anywhere

[Old Young]

Line is very odd. The Dodgers are slumping and the Giants are red hot. Lincecum looked good in his last start and Kershaw seems to having issues hitting his spots. I'm taking the Giants.

SouthBayGame,

Sf won 9 of 10- playing well-take the plus money.

[thebayareabeast]

Only loss a ridiculous call by the Home Plate Ump

SouthBayGame, thanks for the points!

Giants sure are playing very well right now. As mentioned above, the loss against the Mets was an Ump's 9th inning mistake, and so a fluke. They did have one other loss in their last ten games, and that was against the Nats on July 9. Their 8-1 loss in that game was really the only real loss they've had in their last 10.

So, this team is hot and rolling right now. Best of luck on your action!

very nice i like it gl. sir

[Crnjak]

SF ML easy win!

[nbarlotta3]

The Giants have been playing well and the Dodgers lost 4 in a row to the Cardinals. I like this play.

[TGHMak]

For some reason I feel the Giants' bullpen is going to lose this game

[Straight Cash]

Good call here, Lincecum always has value as a dog.

[Sniper22]

Kershaw is no slouch and Linecum has been very human this year.

[danrman]

this is a huge game for the dodgers. better plays elsewhere

[keith22]

Everything points to the Giants, so I guess Dodgers are the play.

[cala56]

You know waht? because giants in road game sometimes sucks

[HighFive]

Lincecum in road games following all-star break is no bueno. Dodgers slump will end soon, why not at home vs. the surging giants. I would stay away from this game but it's too enticing.. Dodgers ML

[chaseman]

SF has been hitting... a unit on Lincecum @ +money is a unit well spent.

halladay, ubaldo, and lince going to all lose this rotation?

[smitch124]

Its a Giants Dodger game, crazy shit will happen it always does. Look at last nights game. I've been a Giants fan for a looonnggg time, Giants' wins in Dodgers stadium are few and far between no matter who the players are. I'm staying away and hoping for a 2nd unlikely win in a row.

[fury]

SF will score runs. It's all about how Timmy does.

[Jakesteen]

This game is on my list for sure. He's back to his usual form.

[bigsmitty]

Oddsmakers are human but they very often know what the hell they're doing. Cheers

[raiders32]

Lincecum against the Dodger offense is a good bet.

[THECRIPPLER]

I dont see the Dodgers sore lineup getting much off Timmy! Even though the under is risky at 6.5 I think SF would have to do all that and I think Kershaw is up to the task of opposing Lincecum! Prob the pen decides this game so the ML might be a toss up??

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

The oddsmakers are a joke

How? Putting Lincecum a dog has money coming in on both sides for the Giants and Dodgers. The oddsmakers are smarter then doctors they know how to make more money then lose

[og4667]

Dodgers are favs for a reason, maybe not very good reasons but still.
