Wednesday MLB Pick

The Giants send the lefty Madison Bumgarner to the hill today to try to win the rubber game against Dan Straily and the Cincinnati Reds in this 3-game set. Bumgarner is 10-5 on the season, with a 2.14 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. After losing his last 2 outings, he should be due for a big game. The Giants are 19-7 in their last 26 home games and 12-1 in Bumgarner’s last 13 starts against the National League Central. Dan Straily is 5-6 on the season, with a 4.01 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and the Reds are 3-8 in their last 11 meetings with the Giants. Joey Votto has had success against Bumgarner, going 5-14 with 1 homer but Jay Bruce has struggled against him, going 2-15. Kerwin Danley is calling it today and the Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 with him behind the dish. If Bumgarner keeps it away from Votto, the Giants should win this game.
