Because Cainer desperately needs some good luck, well wishes, and run support thrown his way. He's only had 3.72 runs per start, good for 9th lowest run-support in the NL. Hopefully he eats up innings tomorrow, since he hasn't gotten past the 6th inning in his last 3 starts. He'll be facing the future HoFer John Smoltz, who just got back from the DL. If you're looking for a possible pitcher's duel, this game is your best bet.
Tomorrow (Monday) marks the start of a 7 game homestand for the Giants, playing the Braves for 4, and the Marlins for 3.
If you're looking for Bonds to break the record, watch all the games this entire week. It will be symbolic if he ties and/or breaks it during the Braves series, because, as you know, the Braves was Aaron's old team. Also, this coming Tuesday is BLB's 43rd birthday, so I and many other Giants fans are hoping for something big on that day.
Bonds' career vs. Smoltz: .297 (19-for-64), 8 HR, 14 RBI, 20 BB, 14 K
