San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres

Martin's Friday Free Play:

1 Unit on San Francisco Giants -123 (Listing Lincecum)

With two of the worst offenses in the league going head-to-head tonight, I turn to the match-up of starting pitchers to pick my free play winner for Friday. The Giants score 3.9 runs/game while the Padres score 3.8 runs/game in 2008. I’ll back All-Star pitcher Tim Lincecum who is 11-3 with a 2.78 ERA this year. Lincecum has been virtually un-hittable on the road, going 7-1 with a brilliant 2.11 ERA. Josh Banks is progressively getting worse for the Padres. Banks is 1-1 with a 6.23 ERA through his last three starts. Get this, the Giants are 4-1 in Lincecum’s five lifetime starts against the Padres. In those five stars, Lincecum features a 1.38 ERA. Lincecum has allowed just 2 earned runs in his last 20 innings pitched against the Padres. Lincecum is 11-1 after 2 or more consecutive team losses this season.

As you can see, the Giants have a huge edge on the mound that I’m going to exploit.

Cash in with San Francisco as the favorite.
