Bumgarner-
last 7 starts 6-1 2.26 ERA avg game score 70.
last 5 vs Dodgers- 3-1 1.80 avg game score 66
Greinke-
last 7 starts 5-1 2.44 avg game score 64
last 5 vs Giants 5-0 1.85 avg game score 65

Forget the stats, this is the season for the Giants. They lose to the Dodgers with Bumgarner on the mound and they're 5.5 out, staring down 4 games of Leake, Vogelsong, Heston/Cain/Hudson and Peavy before Bumgarner goes again. Without Pence and Panik it's been so difficult to sustain rallies, the rotation beyond Bumgarner has struggled big time and the pen is inconsistent with a lot of holes. While the Dodgers could perform better, they're good enough to not go on the kind of losing streak the Giants need them to go on.
