Such are the basic stat lines for Kershaw and Lincecum in head to head matchups this season, with Clayton coming out on top in all three games. Tomorrow night we are treated to the fourth of the year. Amazing that the stars lined up as they did and the two aces faced each other so frequently.
To my surprise, the Giants have gathered themselves and made a last ditch effort to remain alive in the playoff hunt, with an 8 game winning streak and resurgent offense that is scoring runs. They looked dead when the Dodgers faced them in San Francisco 9 or 10 days ago.
The G men are playing for their playoff lives and doing well. Tomorrow they confront their biggest challenge as the opponent on the mound has owned them all season. Additionally, Kershaw has the extra motivation as he goes for his 20th win of the season and the Cy Young Award.

Tomorrow night’s game is for all the marbles and something will have to give.
