San Francisco Giants @ Atlanta Braves<\/strong>
\nTonight, 7:10 p.m. ET<\/p>\n

Tim Lincecum (11-4, 3.10) vs Jair Jurrjens (3-4, 4.62)
\nMLB odds: Giants -110, Braves -110<\/p>\n

It\u2019s weird to see the Giants not favored in any Tim Lincecum start, even on the road, but that\u2019s the way things have gone for Tiny Tim this season. He\u2019s still having a good year but not so much by his lofty standards. His .240 opponents\u2019 average this season is a big spike from his .221 career number or .206 last season. Lincecum has simply been more hittable.<\/p>\n

That said, the Braves may be just what Lincecum needs. He\u2019s 6-1 in seven career starts against them with 54 strikeouts in 46.2 innings. Lincecum is also unbeaten in his last five outings this year.<\/p>\n

Based on his overall numbers, Jair Jurrjens hasn\u2019t done much to prove his 2009 season wasn\u2019t a fluke. But a closer look shows that he\u2019s coming around. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After missing most of the first half and going 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in seven starts, he\u2019s 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA in four outings since the All-Star break. Jurrjens is also dominant at home \u2013 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA this season.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s easier to see why this matchup is a coin flip. Still, I like Lincecum tonight. The Braves\u2019 bats haven\u2019t been too impressive of late whereas the Giants are swinging better \u2013 especially Buster Posey.<\/p>\n
