I think we are getting excellent value here with the Giants. Ryan Vogelsong is due for a quality start after his awful start and facing the Brewers is just what he needs as the Brewers have hit just .150 and scored just 1.63 runs per 9 vs. RHP. Their cleanup hitter is Rickie Weeks who is 2-30 in his last 7 games combined. The Giants meanwhile have hit righties well all year and thatâs been without their leftie first baseman doing any damage as hew as 6-43 before last nightâs 3-4 performance. Vogelson has been a hard luck pitcher based on his 3.08 FIP as heâs allowed a .410 BABIP with just 54 LOB%. His 3.7 K/BB ratio is excellent and heâs backed by a bullpen that is much better than the Brewers.
The Brewers send Kyle Lohse to the mound who has pitched excellent but is due to struggle in my opinion heâs been lucky with a .250 BABIP and a 83 LOB%. In 2 starts last year vs. the Giants he pitched 7.2 IP allowed 6 ER and 13 hits while walking 6 guys. The Giants are 13-4 in their last 17 vs. a RH starter and 15-6 in their last 21 as a road dog.
