The “Even Year” San Francisco Giants Have The N.L.West Lead

Despite a home loss last night to the (29-11) Chicago Cubs and now (8-0) pitcher, Jake Arrieta, that snapped an 8 game win skein,  the San Francisco Giants, the kings of “even years,” with World Series titles in the last three (2010, 2012 and 2014), have built a little bit of a lead in the slow pace N.L. West.

Their (25-19) record is good enough for a three and a half game lead in a division where no other team is even at the break even .500 mark.

Of course there is a long way to go, but S.F. figures to play a bit better and if the others especially the disappointing Dodgers do not get going, perhaps the Giants will easily find their way into the baseball tournament they made theirs in each of the last three “even year” seasons.
