Games of the Day

The best afternoon game on Wednesday takes place in San Francisco where Kyle Hendricks leads the Cubs against the Giants and Madison Bumgarner. Hendricks, a right-handed pitcher, owns a reverse platoon split this season. Left-handed batters are hitting .223/.294/.385 against him, right-handers .261/.309/.394. Bumgarner holds a 1-5 record despite a 2.88 ERA. The Giants scored two runs or less in six of his nine starts.

Later in the south west, Alex Wood leads the Dodgers against former Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and the Diamondbacks. Wood, with his 2.33 ERA, still doesn’t qualify for the ERA leaderboard. He allowed just five home runs in 104 1/3 innings. Greinke is 1-3 against the Dodgers with a 6.35 ERA since he left Los Angeles. He allowed six home runs in 22 2/3 innings.
