If you thought the San Francisco Giants were done for the season, think again. This team is red hot. The Giants have won 7 straight and 9 of their last 10, and a Wild Card spot is within their grasp. Today they will go for 3 in a row against the visiting New York Mets in a matinée at Oracle Park. Jeff Samardzija will take the rubber for the Giants. He has pitched well, going 7-7, with a 3.93 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. San Francisco has won 4 straight at home and since June 1st, they have erupted, going 27-15. The Mets will counter with Walker Lockett. Lockett was recalled from AAA Syracuse and has had 2 starts this year in the Bigs. To say his numbers are horrendous might not big a strong enough word. In his 2 turns, Lockett is 0-1 with a bloated ERA of 11.74 and a 1.70 WHIP. The Giants should be able to feast on this guy today.
