Giants are now four games ahead of all other teams with a 69-40 record.  Houston, Dodgers, Tampa Bay and Milwaukee are all 65-44, 4.0 games behind the Giants.  Giants on a 103 win pace.

Giants have most HRs, 3rd best OPS, 7th most runs scored in MLB.  They have the best WHIP and 3rd best ERA in MLB.

Oddball NL West statistic:  Giants are 31-20 against teams with >.500 record.  Padres are 31-24 against teams with a winning record.  Dodgers are 24-29 against teams with a winning record.

Be interesting to see what happens when La Stella, Belt and Longoria return.

2 of 3 already back (and they look surprisingly good/unrusty).  Just waiting for Longoria.

Tough decisions upcoming for Giants.

The concern is that the starting pitching is leaking oil.  Bully great today, as noted.  Maybe the Giants "ham and egg" for the rest of the season, but it still seems likely the Dodgers (at least) overtake them.
