To say it's been a rough season for Colorado pitcher Connor Seabold is putting it lightly. The 27-year-old has struggled to shut down opposing lineups, logging a 6.62 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 18 appearances. Seabold has also given up a whopping 21 earned runs across his last three starts. Seabold is opposed by Ryan Walker, who has posted a 2.57 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 21.0 innings. Walker is primarily used as a reliever or opener, so expect a veteran like Alex Wood (5.20 ERA) to take on a multi-inning role. Manager Gabe Kapler has shown he is willing to call on any pitcher, though. Without there being a clear pitching advantage here, fade the offense that just hasn't gotten it done. Colorado ranks 27th in slugging percentage (.364) and 29th in runs per game (3.71) when playing on the road this year. San Francisco will play with enough fortitude to squeak out a victory. Final Score Prediction:'Rockies: 4 | Giants: 6 There's no denying that San Francisco's offense put up a disappointing effort on Friday. There's a lot to like about the chances of a bounc e-back performance, though. The opposing team has scored at least 5 runs in eight of the last nine games in which Seabold has made a pitching appearance. Not only that, but the Giants are averaging 5.6 runs across their last 14 games against the Rockies.
