Rockies vs Giants Prediction & Pick
The Rockies sure hope that this series starts off better than their last one against the Giants went. The NL West rivals met for a three-game series in the Mile High City last month, resulting in San Francisco winning all three meetings 21-12 on aggregate.
The outcome isn't anything new as far as the all-time rivalry goes. After all, the Giants have now won 10 straight games against the Rockies by an average of 3.1 runs. Adding insult to injury is the fact that Colorado has also lost 11 of its last 14 trips to Oracle Park, scoring three or fewer runs eight times during that stretch.
The Rockies are playing a terrible brand of baseball at the moment and with the home team coming off a skid-ending victory, I like the Giants' chances of winning big tonight.
Final Score Prediction:'Giants: 7 | Rockies: 4
Rockies vs Giants Best Bet
Don't expect a pitching duel tonight. Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber hasn't exactly produced results this season, going 6-7 with a 6.64 ERA in 17 starts. The Giants' Ross Stripling hasn't been much better, boasting an 0-2 record with a 6.51 ERA in 11 appearances (six starts).
Furthermore, each of the last five Rockies-Giants matchups have gone over 8.5 runs.
With the total also going over 8.5 runs in five of the Rockies' last seven games and three of the Giants' previous six, I'm comfortable with backing the Over as the best bet tonight.
