Thursday Afternoon

One early play:

S.F. Giants +112 (Matchbook), 1 to win 1.12.

Hambone and I fell in love with the generous lines that the Giants were getting with future star Matt Cain on the hill early in the season. We got burned once or twice and got gun-shy just as the Giants were finally starting to give him some run support. Now that we're back on Cain, expect his dismal run support to return. Such is life. Anyway, the Giants hit lefties pretty well, and Cain is the sort of pitcher we love here at Against All Odds. Great stuff, lots of Ks, and doesn't give up too many HRs- but so far has limited media exposure due to his youth, his misleading W-L record, and the fact that he hasn't played for a contender since arriving in the bigs. All that and underdog money to boot? Sign us up.
