For Sunday I like the GIANTS +146 at the Braves (Linecum vs Teheran). The Giants have been swinging the bats well lately while the Braves have not. Teheran struggled in his last outing vs the Padres which could maybe be indicative of a possible regression or fatigue/other health issues. Lincecum has a 4.70 ERA but his xFIP is over a run lower at 3.55 and he is averaging over 9 ks per 9 innings which tells me he still has good stuff, though he has been struggling with control. Lincecum beat the Braves back in May going 7 scoreless innings while only giving up 2 hits. Yes, the Braves have the best bullpen ERA in the NL but they lost O'Flaherty to injury and the Giants' bullpen is right there with them ranking 4th. Kimbrel pitched the 9th on Saturday for Atlanta which is good for SF. SF is also coming off a loss which I think helps them. I make this number closer to +130.
