St. Louis at San Francisco

The San Francisco Giants were sailing along at an impressive 42-21, winning two of every three games, and looked to be a runaway winner in the NL. That stellar play has come to a screeching halt, as the Giants are mired in a 5-16 slump. The Giants have failed to score in two of their last three games. Over the 21 game swoon they are averaging just 3 runs per game. They have gone nine games now without any starter but Lincecum recording a win. The Cardinals have been great at finishing off a series where they are 30-12 in their last 42 in the third game of a series. Bumgarner has been disappointing in the role of a favorite from -110 to -150 as the ledger shows the Giants at 3-10 in his last 13. San Francisco has lost their edge at home where they are now just 3-13 in their last 16 here, and he has failed against the Cards where the Giants are just 1-4 in his last five starts against them. Take St. Louis.
