My Take on the opposition:
Everything I said earlier in the week about Johan Santana applies in this case against Tim Lincecum even more. Somehow the Braves were able to scratch out a victory over Santana so we will hope that the Braves force Lincecum to throw a lot of pitches and get him out of the game as early as possible. Not many Giants hitters have seen Jurrjens much so perhaps he can use that to his advantage tonight as well. Should be an outstanding series with solid pitching match ups each night.
