The over is also 8-3 in Cain’s last 11 starts overall versus the Rockies and has hit in 10 of the last 14 meetings between these two teams overall. The over is 10-2-2 in Cain’s last 14 starts, is 6-1-1 in his last eight starts versus a team with a losing record, and is 19-7 in his last 26 starts on Thursday nights.
The over has been cashing in recent Giants games as well, hitting in six of their last seven contests overall. The over is also 6-1 in their last seven home games, 5-1 in their last six home games versus a team with a losing record, and 5-0 in their last five games when they’re coming off a loss.
Cain had a shaky April and looks nothing like the pitcher he was a few years ago when he was the leader of the Giants’ rotation. With firepower in both lineups, look for the over to cash tonight.
