AAA's AFTERNOON BIG-CHALK "ASSASSIN!" (HUGE 34-16 +$11,178 ALL PICKS L17 DAYS!)
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. San Francisco,
Money Line: -215.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* ASSASSIN on the San Francisco Giants.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely feel that Giants' ace Madison Bumgarner could/should easily be a much larger one.

Ben Lively: He's 1-4 with a 3.80 ERA. Lively is being recalled from Triple-A to make this start. To go along with his respectable 3.80 ERA, Lively owns an unimpressive 17:13 K:BB over 42.2 innings of work (is 0-3 with a 4.21 ERA on the road.)

Bumgarner: He's 3-5 with a 2.99 ERA. Bumgarner gave up four runs over six innings while striking out four in a 9-4 victory over Miami on Tuesday. It wasn't the southpaws greatest outing, but he had a big early lead and was able to sit back and hit the strike zone hard, which led to a couple of more runs added to his stat line. Note that he owns a 2.57 ERA in all "day" contests this year.

The bottom line: Philadelphia is stumbling towards the finish line, just 4-13 (-8.2 units) in August, while San Francisco is 10-7 (+3.8 units) in August. Looks like a great spot for the home side to finish up this series strong. Lay the price with confidence, play on the GIANTS.
