Well on this one the giants are a clear underdog, i understand why, but never the less i see that this is a good game for the underdog, why? Well some factors , really, let’s see them.

This first one is the staring pitchers, it’s true the Phillies have a better bullpen (not much better but better anyhow – 3.21 vs 3.74), and that in statistical terms they will have a better pitcher starting up – and that’s the main reason why they are favourites, but I think in terms of starting pitcher the giants will be better served tonight – let’s see.

In the mound for the phillies will be brett myers – he has a season ERA of 5.11, and that’s reasonable, but in the last two games he seems to be a bit worse, once he has allowed a lot of hits. He is making a bad beginning of season and in my opinion is very likely he does slump again.

In the giants mound will be matt cain, he has a season ERA of 4.41, and he has been doing a god start, exception made to a game in san diego where he made a mess out of himself. But that sometimes happens and the next game he pitched he did it very good. Cain strikes out a lot, and I’m very confident in him for tonight – both pitchers will stay long in the game, so the bullpen isn’t going to matter that much, even if he does it’s not that big difference.

In terms of batting the giants are clearly better in the last games (0.285 vs 0.238), so I’m confident that things in this game will go to the away team with some difference. This odd is really awesome.
