Wednesday Bases!
In my view, this is a great situational spot to play the Giants as a small road favourite tonight against the Cubs, especially what occured in last nights game. The Giants lost in a rain-shortened match up that lasted the minimum of just 4.5 innings. I like the Giants to respond in a big way tonight.
Jake Peavy will toe the rubber for the Giants and has struggled this season with a 2-12 record and 5.72 ERA over 24 starts. However, Peavy had a solid outing last time out after allowing just 1 ER in 7 IP against the White Sox and since joint the Giants has pitched to a 3.86 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 4 trips to the mound. He has also dominated the Cubs in 15 career starts against them, sporting a stingy 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP.
Chicago will send Edwin Jackson to the mound tonight and he has been one of the worst starters in the Majors this year. Jackson is 6-13 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 25 starts, whilst opposing hitters have hit a staggering .300 off him in 13 ‘Night’ starts. The Cubs are 8-17 in games that jackson has started and are 2-6 in his last 8 outings.
