San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers
Wednesday, 10:10 pm Eastern – ESPN 2
Lincecum has been excellent all season for San Francisco. He became the second-fastest pitcher in San Francisco history to record 100 strikeouts. He did it in just 91 innings. Lincecum's got his fourth win in his past five starts in his last outing. The Giants have won five of their last six games with Lincecum on the mound.
The Dodgers are a PK with a total of 8 flat at SBG Global.
Hendrickson has been up and down all season. In his last start he went five plus innings and allowed three runs. He has not been a solid option for the Dodgers this season and could be headed to the bullpen when Randy Wolf comes off the DL.
