Result:
LOSS

It isn't often that you get an opportunity to play on the best home team in the National League at what amounts to even, or slightly underdog odds against a team that has struggled on the road all season. That is the case here with the Giants holding the best home record in the NL with a 48-26 mark on the season, and the Cubs nine games south of .500 on the road. Those numbers have held up in this range as well as the Giants are 19-11 at home as a favorite of -110 or less, or an underdog. The Cubs have been poor on the road, but that is just the beginning of their problems. When they have hit the road against a team with a .500 or better record, they have gone just 7-22. Those numbers don't dictate even odds for a game especially with the Giants holding onto faint wildcard hopes. The Cubs’ problems become worsened when facing a pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or less as they are now 5-22 in their last 27 against one. Dempster has not been the answer for the Cubs off a loss as he has followed by seeing the Cubs go 2-12. There is a lot of value here on the home team and I'll back the Giants in this one.
