Fargo's Divisional Game of the Month (7-2 L9)

Analysis: This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our Divisional Game of the Month. It has been a tough stretch for San Francisco as it was swept at home against Miami to open last week then hit the road and dropped two of three against the White Sox and have lost the first two games of this series. The offense has been nowhere to be found as they have scored 2.8 rpg during this eight-game stretch and this is a big one before facing Robbie Ray tomorrow. Landen Roupp has quietly put together a solid season as he has a 3.43 ERA through 16 starts and he has only one clunker as he allowed six runs over 1.2 innings but that was against the Dodgers and he has bounced back with a pair of shutout performances covering 11.1 innings. The two wins to open this series put a halt to a four-game losing streak for Arizona which was also swept by Arizona at home. The pitching was lit up during that losing streak and that included a start from Merrill Kelly which was not horrible but was not great. He has a 5.06 ERA over his last three starts. 10* (957) San Francisco Giants
