Not really any write up necessary but i will add my take on a play that SHOULD cash pretty easily. (Knock on wood)
Saturday, August 14th (All times eastern)
San Diego Padres (68-46) at San Francisco Giants (66-51), 4:10 p.m
Probable Starting Pitchers: San Diego - Mat Latos (12-5, 2.36) San Francisco - Madison Bumgarner (4-4, 3.36)
PLAY: San Diego (Latos) @ San Francisco (Bumgarner) UNDER 7, -115
In three games versus San Francisco this season Latos has allowed 2 earned runs in 22 innings. On May 13th at San Francisco Latos was one hit away from throwing a perfect game versus the Giants in a San Diego 1-0 victory. Latos has registered an astounding 1.07 earned run average over his past eight starts, having surrendered two runs or fewer in every one of those assignments. Before a rough two game stretch Bumgarner had gone 4-0 with a 1.35 ERA over four straight road starts in July. I believe he will return to form pitching today in front of the home crowd in a big divisional matchup. Here are a few past performances by todays starting pitchers and team past matchup performances:
The UNDER IS:
4-0 in Latos' last 4 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
5-0 in Latos' last 5 road starts vs. a team with a winning record.
6-1 in Latos' last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
5-1 in Latos' last 6 starts with 5 days of rest.
13-3 in Latos' last 16 starts when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game.
The UNDER IS:
4-0 in Bumgarners last 4 starts during game 2 of a series.
4-0 in Bumgarners last 4 home starts.
6-1 in Bumgarners last 7 starts on grass.
6-1 in Bumgarners last 7 starts overall.
4-1 in Bumgarners last 5 starts with 4 days of rest.
THE UNDER IS:
5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in San Francisco.
17-5-1 in the last 23 meetings between these two teams.
