The Giants won the opener of this series 3-2 yesterday on the strength of a run in the bottom of the 9th inning. This is the first series between these two west coast teams since 2012. The Angels have a 6-2 edge in the last 8 games dating back to 2006.
Los Angeles is 2-2 on their current road trip and 5-3 in their last eight games overall. San Francisco just finished a 2-3 road trip before yesterday’s game and is now 6-3 in their last 9 games.
Santiago received a no decision in his last start but pitched well (5.1 innings 1 ER). He has thrown 2 Q starts on the year and has allowed only 1 run in 3 of his 4 starts. Hudson also received a no decision in his last outing and also pitched well enough to get a W (7 Innings, 3 runs). It was his 3rd Q start of the year but he has been the victim of little to no run support. The Giants have scored exactly 1 run in 3 of his 4 starts.
Only SF 3B Casey McGehee has faced Santiago in the past (0-2). Most of the Angels have had little exposure to Hudson but 1B Albert Pujols isn’t one of them. He is hitting a robust .438 off the veteran right-hander (32 ABs) and has cranked 3 HRs. C Chris Iannetta is the only other player with more than 3 ABs against Hudson but he hasn’t had much success (1-9, .111 BA).

Free MLB Pick
The Angels’ starter Hector Santiago has pitched well enough to win every start this season and he’s been especially tough in his last three allowing 4 runs (3 earned) in 18 1/3 innings. The Giants’ starter Tim Hudson has one bad outing this season to go with 3 quality starts. The wind is blowing out but we’ll take our chances on the pitchers being able to keep it in the park.
