Another match where the giants are a big underdog, and really i can't understand why, for me they should be favourites and i'm putting a bet in here.

We are going to have two great pitchers tonight, both of them able to strikeout a lot, simply one of them making some better performances on the pitch then the other – the pitcehr from the gisnta is better right now in my opinion.

The giants will send in T linecum , he has a season ERA of 1,67 – linecum has strated this season in an amazing way – he hasn't alowed any run in any of the 2 games he pitched away from san francisco, and he is a great pitcher ythat strikesout a lot with a good control – it wil be very hard to make a hit or a run with him on the mound.

The phillies will send in also another great pitcher – C Hamels, he has a season ERA of 2,70 – also a great mark this season – hamels also is a strikeout pitcher – he strikesout many players, simply he doesn't have linecum control and has had in the last 3 matches a performance a bit below his usual – so for me in trems of pitching the edge go for the giants. Both pitchers will stay in the game 7,8 innings and the bullpen's are similar, so there is a small advanatage on the giants side.

The other factor we have to consider is the batting, and in this one the giants are better significantly better at the moment. They are hitting 0,283 vs 0,213 wich is large advantage, and they have a lot more players with confidence to make the game. So, i can«t really understand this odd – the only reason why this odd is like this is the way linecum has pitched agaisnt the phillies, but he his in great shape now, and i beleive he will deliver a great performance here.
