Joel Pineiro of the St. Louis Cardinals and Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants are both in sparkling form right now, and we do not expect that to change tonight with the spacious dimensions of AT&T park in San Francisco.

Cain has had the label of being the unluckiest pitcher in baseball the last couple of years, as he has always pitched very well but with a pathetic offense behind him. He is finally getting some support this year though, and as a result, he has a fine 5-1 record to go with his customary 2.40 ERA. Cain has allowed one run or less in three of his last four starts, and he is coming off of a Complete Game 5-1 win over the Seattle Mariners.

Meanwhile, Joel Pineiro appears to have regained the amazing form he displayed when he first came up with the Seattle Mariners a few years ago. He dominated the Chicago Cubs two starts back, tossing a Complete Game three-hit shutout, and he followed that up with a Quality Start in a tough luck 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Most incredibly, he has not walked a single batter in his last four starts (28 innings), and he has issued one walk in his last 41.2 frames.

Finally, neither of these offenses is tearing things up right now, with the Giants averaging just 3.40 runs in their last 10 games and the Cardinals not doing much better in this same span at 3.50, so runs should be at a premium tonight.
