"Cain is scheduled for one more start this season — this weekend against the San Diego Padres. The Padres and Giants are locked in a battle for first in the NL West, with the Braves battling for the NL Wild Card spot, as well. For the Padres’ lineup to be successful against Cain, the right-handed hitters could either sit on the fastball or anticipate the breaking ball with two strikes, while the left-handed hitters can expect a timely changeup deep in the at-bat."
Albert Lyu over at Fan Graphs has written a wonderful scouting breakdown on Matt Cain’s pitch selection. When Cain makes his start this weekend, chances are quite high that the division could rest on his shoulders.
It will be interesting to take a look at the PitchFX after the game and see which team was able to make the necessary adjustments.
