1 Unit on Braves/Giants UNDER 6.5
This may look like a small number at first glance, but consider that we haven't seen more than 5 total runs scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two clubs. Considering Lincecum has a 2.89 career ERA against Atlanta, and Lowe has a 3.02 career ERA against San Francisco, I like our chances with the Under. The Under is 4-0 in Lincecum's last 4 home starts and 5-1 in his last 6 starts vs. the Braves. The Under is also 4-0 in Lowe's last 4 starts as a road underdog and 6-0 in his last 6 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Giants finished the season by playing to the Under in 6 of their last 7 games. Atlanta finished Under the total in 6 of its last 8 down the stretch. I think odds makers are begging for action on the Over with this low number, but I'll take the Under with a pair of quality starters on the hill.

Under 6.5: Two great pitchers take the mound on Thursday as Lincencum and Lowe square off in game 1. Both these teams have been led by great pitching but the hitting has been an issue for both teams this year. This has the makings of a very low scoring game as both the aces duel. No way this one gets above 4 runs as a 2-1 or 2-0 game is inevitable. Enjoy!
