Spent alot of time last night and this morning on the baseball games & like alot of 'em, in fact, I like too many of them but not "in love" with any of them, so it is probably a wise thing for me not to get too involved .. have strong leans in almost every game, which can be really profitable or muy dangeroso! Anyway, I do like the Giants tonight with Madison going, but the line is at - 167 for the game and for the 1H .. can get the 1H -1/2 (-115), but Paul Maholm can pitch a little and don't want to mess with a first half that could be close. So, I have decided to go with the runline (+145) and just play a triple with the Giants' moneyline on the bottom. If for some reason the Giants were to drop to - 150 or below, I will play it and resubmit that as my POD but don't expect it. Cubbies have now lost 7 straight Road games & are just (6-17) on the Road TY, while the Giants are (14-11) at Home TY.
MAHOLM ... (1-1) Road TY w/ 5.48 Road ERA TY
BUMGARNER (3-1) Home TY w/ 2.57 Home ERA TY
BUMGARNER's last game at Home vs the Cubs was an eight inning two-hit shutout performance with eleven strike outs, and he is (11-2) w/ 2.02 ERA in his L14 games @ AT&T Park, while Maholm is (0-1) w/ 4.30 ERA in 4 starts @ AT&T Park.
CUBS are (0-5) on the Road vs LH-starters TY and just (2-9) overall TY vs lefties.
SF is (5-2) at Home TY vs LH-starters and (10-5) overall vs lefties TY.
