Do you really think the Dodgers are going to roll over the Giants? This seems like it will be a fairly close game.

I don't know where the Giants will get runs from. I have respect for Cain but this is more of a fade of the Giants O than a play on the Dodgers. Last year, something always seemed to go wrong for the Giants when Cain took the mound. If the Dodgers score 3 runs in the game, they cover.

As a team, the giants seem to hit Lowe pretty well.

Well, Matt Cain is even more dreadful against the Dodgers. He's posted career numbers of 0-3 a 5.96 ERA and a WHIP of 1.90. Oddly enough, I don't see this being a slugfest. I think the pitching matchup is fairly equal, all things being considered. The Dodgers just have many more offensive weapons than the Giants.

Last 2 seem solid. Not sold on Dice-K because he should have gotten the L on Opening Day in Japan if not for the heroics of Huston Street.

Yeah that was a poor outing for him. I'm looking for him to bounce back in this one. He had some control problems in Japan. Not sure if it was from nervousness or what the problem was. There isn't nearly as much pressure or distraction for him in this meeting. He's not one to put up too many back to back poor outings. Although, if he has some control issues again, I'm hoping the Sox bats will put up some numbers and pull him through it.
