Dont Cash In Your Bonds Yet-The Giants Are Contenders In The West!
Has there ever been a manager in baseball like Felipe Alou who can get results while playing with less then a full deck? With all the swirling controversy in San Francisco, Alou has been able to keep his players focused long enough to post a 49-47 record, good enough for second place and just 1 games out of first.
Tonight, they host the division leading Padres and unfortunately for the Bay area team, Jake Peavy will be standing on the hill. When the ace pitcher toes the rubber, if youre into making some money sports betting, its a good idea to place your bets on the Padres.
Peavy (4-9, 4.78 ERA) hasnt won since May 28th, but will look to defeat San Francisco for the fourth straight time when he takes the mound Friday in the second game of the clubs four-game series at AT&T Park. Peavy is 8-3 with a 3.07 ERA in 15 career starts against San Francisco including 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in two starts this season. He is 2-9 with a 5.23 ERA this season in his 16 outings versus all other opponents including 0-4 in his last seven starts.
