                                                                                                                                                     ZACH’S PICKS

SUNDAY

Vogelsong @ Porcello – Porcello so awful lately that he’s a ditch even vs. woeful SF lineup.

Lee @ Reyes

Lohse @ Hellickson

Greinke @ Blackburn – I’m sitting Blackburn here following terrible outing vs. Dodgers.

Kennedy @ Gonzalez

Latos @ TBD – Latos continuing his erratic ways but gotta start him in Safeco.

Vazquez @ Wilson – This could get real ugly for Vazquez.

Billingsley @ Big Erv

Talbot @ Leake – Leake enjoying an impressive run.

F. Garcia @ Dickey – This could be 2-1 or 10-9. I’ll pass.

Britton @ Beachy

Beckett @ Lyles

Floyd @ Lopez – Floyd risky but last start @ COL encouraging.

Hochevar @ Hammel – Hammel struggling at home but solid matchup.

Correia @ Marquis – I don’t trust Marquis…never have, never will. Correia not an automatic start here.

Richard @ Lincecum – Richard usually a ditch on the road but this is an exception.

Worley @ Nolasco – Not sold on Worley.

Cueto @ Carpenter

Jimenez @ Hanson
