One of my other favourite teams to ebt on in Major League baseball is none other than the Giants. The San Francisco Giants completed the first half of the season with an absolute gem of a no no. Their fans must begin to realise that their team do actually stand a genuine chance of claiming something big this year after a change in managerial positions. Sandoval and Molina have been their star batter in June and July and given the way that all five starting pitcher for the Western club have been playing, their attacking and defensive capabilities are all but balanced.

The Pirates have been one of those unorganised teams in baseball for many years already. Their infrastructure and organisation seems to be going forward without any clear ambitions which reflects on their on field performances. I would not be surprise if their numbers gradually decline as the second half of the season goes by as they do not really have anyone to bail them out. Tim Lincecum will be starting for the Giants in this match and there will be no stopping for the Pirates to prevent a Giants win here.

Pick: Giants -1.5 @ 2.10
