Like their rivals in Los Angeles, the Giants are blessed with one of baseball’s best pitchers—and stuck with a rotation that doesn’t match him. Madison Bumgarner gives San Francisco a qualified ace atop the starting five, but the rest of the group is questionable at best. Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija both struggled through rough 2015 seasons, and whether either of Matt Cain or Jake Peavy can make it through an entire year healthy and effective is anyone’s guess.
