I love Cain on the road during a day start he's got a 2.81 ERA on the road and a 2.14 ERA during day starts and I have a feeling Carlos Beltran is about to carry this team back into contention. He's red hot right now 12-21 over the last 7 days and he faces Harrang who he has a .304 average against with a .950 OPS. Harrang has a 3.84 ERA during day not as good during the night. The Padres meanwhile have a 186 career at bats active in the line up vs. Matt Cain with a .204 average and a .641 OPS while the Giants have 221 at bats and a .271 average and a .784 OPS vs. Harrang. Giants are 16-5 in their last 21 meetings vs. the NL west while the Padres are 6-25 in their last 31 vs. NL West.
Ja Happ continues his dominance tonight since coming back from the minors he's gone 13 innings pitched given up 1 ER and just 7 hits. He faces the Pirates again who over 7 career starts he has a 2.00 ERA as the Pirates have just a .229 average with .635 OPS and are 28th in OPS vs. LHP. Astros will face a 30 year old lefty who has just a 6.61 k/9 ratio and 3.13 BB/9 ratio in AAA with a 4.66 ERA in Burress so I think they'll be able to get by in this game and taking them as dogs is of great value.
