Volquez has improved a lot this year since he found a home in Pitt and I have bet on him frequently liking him and Pitt.
That said
The ump tonight is Gorman
Volquez lifetime has an ERA of 7.97 with him based on 20.1 innings.
Last year he faced him for 9 innings and had a 7 ERA
Volquez likes to play at home, at night and on 4 days rest and has 2 of them which will help him. He has an edge at night 2.74 to 3.11. Unfortunately Bumgarner this season playing 6+ has an ERA of .47 based on 19 innings. Facing Gorman a 3.09 ERA based on 11.2 innings
Bumgarner has faced Pitt 4 times. Volquez has faced SF 10
I do not think Bumgarner has forgotten giving up 5 runs to Pitt this season and when he got hit at LA he was on the wrong side of a ump set up just like this. Volquez had 2 great last games but we all know Atlanta and Milwaukee had no bat strength. Its just unfortunate but I see SF winning this game
That is just the way it is.
