San Francisco at Atlanta

The San Francisco Giants have been a surprise team all year, and the biggest three reasons are Cain, Lincecum, and home field. The Giants are 31-15 at home. Those three elements have been lethal to opponents, but take them away and the Giants have been not only reduced to ordinary, but reduced to a poor team. When the Giants have hit the road without Lincecum or Cain on the mound, they have just  five wins on the season! The task will be a most difficult one tonight as they take on Tommy Hansen, who is 4-0 with a 2.50 ERA and has allowed zero runs in his last two starts at home. There is a decided advantage here to the Braves, so they get the call in this one.
