OUR PICK: There’s no reason to back the Giants right now, especially with Cain on the hill. San Francisco is 1-6 in Cain’s last seven road starts, 16-36 in his last 52 starts overall, and winless at 0-5 in his last five starts versus an American League East opponent. After losing 4-0 last night in Boston, the Giants are now 3-9 in their last 12 games versus the Red Sox overall and 0-4 in their last four games at Fenway Park. Lay the -1.5 on the BoSox.
