Ever since the end of the All-Star Break, the San Francisco Giants have been downright awful. However, it was simply a continuation of their struggles at covering the runline away from AT&T Park, as the Giants are 1-13 against the runline in their past 14 road games. San Fran kicks off a three-game series with the Marlins in Miami Monday.
Johnny Cueto has been dominant on the season as a whole, but his performances on the road have been spectacular. Cueto has a 2.82 ERA while holding opponents to a .228 batting average in 12 road starts this year, which has led the Giants to a 10-2 record in those outings.
Jose Fernandez will look to avoid his first three-game losing streak of his career when he takes the mound Monday. The young ace has lost back-to-back decisions three times in his career but has bounced back in the games following those by allowing just three runs across 19.0 innings.
