I do too. Bum's 1-3 with a 5.23 ERA in his last 7 ball games, giving up 9 HRs and 25 earned runs in 43 innings. D'Backs are 2-8 and have a four game losing streak. Kazmir's given up 3 HRs in his last 24 2/3 innings. Giants have won 16 of 18 against the D'Backs. I think he's ready.
Dodgers have won 11 of 18 against the Padres. They're going up against Velasquez, whose recent 12.63 ERA makes Bumgarner look like 1965 Koufax. And Gonsolin is looking sharp. Easy win for the Dodgers, I think.
Milwaukee...maybe not so fast. Dodgers are 1-3 against Milwaukee this season, with a 16-4 laugher, but two games in which the Dodgers scored just one run. I think Milwaukee presents some matchup problems. Timing favors Dodgers, first two games are late night games. Milwaukee may be wiped out, particularly for the first one.
I think it comes down to the last game of the season.
