00:00Today in that finale, will we see a split in favor of the Giants

00:04or a big series win in a four-game set for San Diego?

00:08The Giants a slight favorite at minus 118.

00:11Total stands now at 7.5.

00:15How does this series come to a close today in San Francisco?

00:18Look, if it's not broke, don't fix it here.

00:21Now, yesterday they did get a lot of runs.

00:22The night before, not a lot of runs.

00:23I'm still going to sit with that trend where we're not going to see a lot of runs here.

00:26As I said, 27 total pitchers on the card today, a minimum of five innings pitched over the last 30 days.

00:31Take a look at this.

00:32Dylan Cease, number two on the card today.

00:34Now, he's 0-2 through 30 innings pitched over the past month, but a 360 ERA, which is manageable.

00:39But how about his XFIP number?

00:402.22.

00:41That is astoundingly good.

00:4932 innings pitched for him over the past 30 days.

00:52How about a 169 ERA and a very manageable XFIP number of 3.13?

00:57Not a lot of love in those two lineups.

00:58Now, it is the afternoon, so the ball does travel a little bit further there in San Francisco,

01:02but not enough for me to take it over.

01:04More likely that we see eight runs or less?

01:06Absolutely.

01:07That's the way I go in this game between these two.

01:08Coin flip on the game, two good pitchers out there, two lineups that I don't love so much.

01:12Why not just take the under again?
