Preview

The Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants will meet again to play a 3-game series at the Coors Field. The Rockies lost their last series against the Royals while the Giants lost vs the Cardinals.

San Francisco Giants

The Giants get here with a 21-14 record and have won 7 of their last 9 games. The team is averaging 4.94 runs per game while allowing 3.66 runs. Wilmer Flores leads the team with 19 RBI and batting for an average of .267. Joc Pederson has 7 home runs.

Logan Webb leads the team with a 3.48 ERA and 28 strikeouts, recording 5 wins for the Giants. 

Probable Pitcher:

Alex Cobb (2-1, 3.98 ERA) will be on the mound for the Giants in the 2nd game of the series. Cobb earned the win Wednesday after tossing 5.1 innings, giving up one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six against the Rockies. 

Colorado Rockies

The Rockies get here with a 17-18 record and have lost 7 of their last 8 games. The team is averaging 4.64 runs while allowing 5.45 runs per game. CJ Cron leads the team with 9 home runs and 25 RBI while Jose Iglesias is batting for a .313 AVG.

Chad Khul leads the pitching staff with a 2.88 ERA, 30 strikeouts and 3 wins for the Rockies.

Probable Pitcher: 

Chad Khul (3-1, 2.88 ERA) will start for the Rockies in the 1st game of the series. Kuhl was tagged with the loss Wednesday after pitching 4.2 innings, surrendering five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight versus the Giants.

BETTING TRENDS

San Francisco are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games.

San Francisco are 11-0 SU in their last 11 games against Colorado.

Colorado are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Colorado's last 5 games against San Francisco.

Prediction

The Giants have dominated the Rockies beating them in 11 straight games and Alex Cobb held them to only one in his last meeting while Khul got pounded with 7 hits and 5 runs in the same game. Chad Khul should be better this time and with Cobb for the Giants I think this game will go under the total.

PICK: Under 11.5 (-110)
