The New York Giants have loads of talent left over from their Super Bowl championship team that won it all three years ago, and they should be a contender this season if they can just stay healthy. That might be asking too much from a squad which has still managed to go 20-12 over the last two seasons since winning Super Bowl XLII. New York’s rejuvenated defensive line will likely be the key to the season because Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka are as good as any pass rushers in the NFL. The Giants are still dealing with several injuries in training camp and saw franchise QB Eli Manning leave their first preseason game against the New York Jets with a gash on his head that required 12 stitches. Manning is expected to be fine, but his injury signifies the kind of beating the team will likely continue to take – and survive – in order to make its way back toward the top among the NFC’s elite teams in 2010.

The Braves handed the Dodgers their worst defeat in three years on Sunday afternoon and now look to capture the series at Turner Field.
Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves
Los Angeles suffered a 13-1 blowout defeat in Sunday’s contest against the Braves at Turner Field and have lost 13 of 16 on the road. “We had opportunities, couldn’t get the big hit, nothing you can do about it,” manager Joe Torre said. The loss was the largest margin of defeat this year, as the team is without regulars Casey Blake, Jamey Carroll, Manny Ramirez, Rafael Furcal and Russell Martin. The three runs the Dodgers have scored in the last two games have come on outs, as they are 0-for-20 with runners in scoring position in the series. Los Angeles has posted a 6-5 record after allowing 10 or more runs in a game this season (-90) and are 9-17 in this situation the last three years (-1,340). The club is a disappointing 4-10 as a road underdog of +125 to +150 and the total is 5-9 O/U in those contests. As this series ends, Los Angeles is assured of returning home without consecutive second-half road wins, as they last accomplished this feat on July 3-4 in Arizona.

The Giants look to gain more ground in the divisional race by sending their ace to the hill in the series finale.
San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants
San Diego had its five-game winning streak snapped with Saturday’s 3-2 loss to San Francisco at AT&T Park. “We had our chances,” said manager Bud Black, whose team lost to the Giants for just the second time in 10 chances this season. The Padres left a season-high 16 runners on base and were 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position. The club has posted an impressive 13-5 record on Sundays this year (+880), which is their best winning percentage of any day. San Diego has won each of its last eight Sunday games and 11 of the last 12. With the team being 21 games over .500, it’s important to note that the only other San Diego teams to reach that mark at any point of the season are the two National League champion clubs (1998 and 1994). The Padres bring in a solid 23-13 record in day games this season (+1,160) and the total stands at 17-14 O/U in those contests.
