Oh wait, that's all the time. God, I really don't like that team. Blegh.
Monday - Brett Anderson versus Jake Peavy
Tuesday - Zack Greinke versus Madison Bumgarner
Wednesday - Clayton Kershaw versus Mike Leake
That's about the only good news that the Giants have as far as their offense goes. They'll be without Pence and Panik. They've had some positive production from Marlon Byrd, Nori Aoki, and Matt Duffy. Posey is a stud (duh). Belt is being what the Dodgers wanted from Loney (although not quite as good on defense). Outside of that.. meh... Brandon Crawford will be returning from injury on Monday, so hopefully that's still nagging him and gets re-aggravated or something.
Obviously, the Dodgers just got no-hit, but the Giants have been sputtering in their own right. Mike Leake hasn't been much more of a difference-maker than Alex Wood since those trades went down (better, yea, but not in a huge way).
If the Dodgers are to face the Giants this time of the year, this is how the want it (although it would be way nice if Bumgarner twisted his ankle on a banana peel in the next 36 hours...). Dodgers send their best three pitchers. Giants send a banged-up lineup. Dodgers' relievers are coming off of a rock-solid week.
Winning on Monday against the Giants would be the best possible way to shake off the second no-hitter in 9 days.
