Look for a good old fashioned pitching duel this afternoon when Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants take on Dan Haren and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The reining Cy Young Award winner Lincecum is having another great season, as he is 14-7 with a sparkling 2.47 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, with an amazing 254 strikeouts in 218.1 innings. Furthermore, he has been almost unhittable at home, where he is 9-2 with a minuscule 1.84 ERA. As if that is not enough, he has totally dominated this Arizona lineup, going a perfect eight for eight in Quality Starts while posting at least 12 strikeouts in four of those outings..

Not to be outdone, Haren is 14-9 with a 3.02 ERA in his own right, and believe it or not, he has a lower WHIP than Lincecum does, at an amazing 0.99 in 223.1 innings. Haren also gets his share of strikeouts with 216, and he has allowed two runs or less in each of his last five starts vs. the Giants.

Not only are these two of the best pitchers in the National League that have had a lot of success vs. their respective opponent today, but also both offenses are in a funk right now. The Diamondbacks are hitting just .249 vs. right-handed pitching over the last 10 games while the Giants have been even worse against them, batting .236 over that same span.

We see no reason why each pitcher should not dominate the opposing team today, and although his total is set very low, this game has 3-2 written all over it.
