2016-MLB-Picks-and-Predictions2016 Sunday Night MLB Baseball Free Picks & Predictions – Cubs @ Giants Odds & Picks 5/22/16: Sunday Night MLB Baseball has a fantastic matchup on tap tonight for a national audience as arguably the two best teams in all of baseball will square off in a rubber match of a 3 game series. The Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants take the field tonight with 1st pitch scheduled for 8:05PM EST from AT&T Park with each team trying to take a 2nd game from this series and serve notice to the other that they have a leg up early in the season for the best team in the National League.

The Chicago Cubs enter tonight’s game with an overall record of 29-12 as they have stormed out of the gates this 2016 MLB season and currently own a 6.5 game lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Central Division race. The Cubs have struggled of late as they are just 4-6 in their last 10 games played but did give the Giants their only loss in their last 10 games with a 8-1 win Friday night in the 1st game of this 3 game set.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants come into tonight’s rubber match showdown with an overall record of 26-19 and winners in 9 of their last 10 games. The Giants are currently up 3.5 games in the National League West Division as they look to get back to the playoffs this season and attempt to claim their 4th World Series Championship since 2010. The Giants won the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014 so if the pattern stays true than this year they will have an other excellent opportunity at winning it all again.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon will hand the ball over to right-hand Kyle Hendricks tonight as he looks to pick up his first win since May 5th. The 6-3, 190 pound native of Newport Beach, California lost his last outing on May 17th as he 5 hits and 4 earned runs in just 5.1 innings pitched in a 4-2 loss at Milwaukee. Hendricks is 2-3 this season with a 3.51 ERA and is just 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA in his career against the Giants.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy will trot out his ace to toe the rubber tonight when left-hander Madison Bumgarner takes the ball. Bumgarner is in the midst of another terrific season as he is already 5-2 on the 2016 season with a 2.45 ERA. The 6-5, 250 pound native of Hickory, North Carolina hasn’t lost a decision since April 20th and he is 4-0 in his last 5 starts and the Giants have won all 5. Last time out on May 17th the southpaw tossed a complete game as he allowed just 1 earned run on 5 hits in a 5-1 win at San Diego. Bumgarner is 6-2 with a 2.44 ERA in his career against the Cubs.
