9* Pitching Mismatch Rout - SF Giants -124

The Giants have averaged 2.3 RPG during a 3-6 stretch while the Nationals have averaged 2.8 RPG during a 3-7 stretch. With that in mind, I think it's fair to conclude that one should look to the pitching matchup in Sunday's game, to determine the winner. The choice seems fairly obvious. San Francisco's Matt Cain knows more than a little about lack of run support. He struggled badly in 2007 and 2008 with that issue but this outstanding pitching has gotten things headed in the right direction. He was 14-8 (2.89 ERA) in 2009 (team was 21-12 in his starts) and last year had a HUGE second half, going 12-3 with a 2.91 ERA after the All Star break to finish 13-11 with a 3.14 ERA (team was 19-14 in his starts). He then went 2-0 in three postseason starts, allowing just 13 hits and one run (an unearned one at that), in 21.1 innings. He opened the 2011 season the way he ended the 2010 postseason, leading the Giants to a 10-0 win in his first start, extending his stretch of not allowing an earned to 27.1 innings. It would end in his second start of 2011 (a 3-2 win over the Cards in which Cain got a no decision). He enters this game 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA in five starts. That record includes one terrible start in a 10-2 loss at Colorado (allowed six ERs in 4.2 innings) but four others in which he's allowed just five ERs over 25 innings for a 1.80 ERA. So it should come as no surprise that the Giants are 4-1 in his starts this season. Cain last faced the Nationals in July of last year, getting 'rocked' for eight runs and a career high-tying 11 hits over 6.2 innings during an 8-1 loss in Washington. However, he's 4-3 with a 3.41 ERA vs the Nats in nine career starts (Giants are 6-3), including a 4-0 record with a 1.62 ERA in his five previous starts against the Nationals (prior to last July). Jordan Zimmermann (1-4, 4.55 ERA) gets the call for Washington and he's allowed five ERs in each of his last two starts on 17 hits over 11.1 innings for a 7.94 ERA. He's made just two starts vs the Giants, going 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA (team is 0-2). In this one, it's Cain over Zimmermann
