The set-up: The Giants rallied for a 5-1 win in yesterday's inter-league matchup and I think the visitors will find a way to the winners circle on Saturday night as well. San Francisco goes with Madison Bumgarner on the mound this evening, while Oakland goes with Trevor Cahill.

The pitchers: Bumgarner is so far 3-3 with a 2.90 ERA. The veteran closed the first half strong with back to back strong outings. Bumgarner started the year injured and after a couple of "ho hum" starts after returning to the rotation, the big southpaw has gotten progressively better with each performance.

Cahill is so far 1-2 with a 3.10 ERA. Cahill has also had to deal with injury this year and while the veteran has been sharp at home, I think he's going to have his hands full today with this talented Giants' line-up.

The pick: Both teams come in with winning records, but note that San Francisco is 33-27 against right-handed pitchers this season, while Oakland is just 15-17 against left-handed starters. I look for these strong trends to hold true again here. Play on the Giants.
