This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the San Francisco Giants.
One of these starters dominated last year and the other didn't. One of these starters dominated his opening day start, while the other did not.
Johnny Cueto: He was 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA last year. He had a strong spring, but looked pretty pedestrian in his 2017 opener by allowing four runs off six hits and two walks over just five innings. He did go on to strike out five and managed to earn the victory. Note that Cueto was particularly effective on the road last year, going 10-2 with a 2.78 ERA.
Clayton Richard: He was 3-4 with a 3.33 ERA last year. Richard had a poor spring, but shutout the Dodgers in his season opener, going eight innings and allowing only five hits and two walks with five K's. LA had just put up 14 runs the night previous, so Richard may have been the beneficiary of a mental lapse from the Dodgers in that one. Also note that he owned a poor 41:31 K:BB ratio last year.
The bottom line: We love Cueto to settle down here and get back on track in this favorable matchup. Richard just threw the best game of his life and all signs point to an immediate return to mediocrity. Lay the price, play on SAN FRANCISCO.
