Result: Win
Total: 7.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
Jhoulys Chacin is a Petco Park pitcher. He can't pitch anywhere else. His road ERA is 11.93.
Matt Cain isn't the three-time All-Star of years past. He hasn't been effective since 2012. His ERA the past two years is 5.64 and 5.79. He had a 7.82 ERA in 25 1/3 spring training innings giving up 37 hits. But because he's put together a surprising three quality starts in a row we have a total under 8 here.
I'm not buying such a low total considering these two starting pitchers, neither of whom could be 100 percent. The Padres have a shaky bullpen and the Giants are vulnerable in middle relief and in in the setup roles. So these starters can't expect their bullpen to pull them out either.
San Diego has surprising pop and the Giants are due to hit better.
