Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 8, Rockies 6
Money line
The Giants have now won 12 consecutive games over the Rockies. They simply have their number.
While the Rockies started out looking fantastic at home, they have faltered recently as they’ve dropped 4 of their last 5 at Coors.
Freeland has pitched well for most of the season but the Rockies can’t seem to win for him and he does have a 6.66 home ERA this season.
As much as I like taking the positive odds for Rockies games, with how the Giants just seem to own them, I can’t today.
Take the GIANTS (-165).
Run line/Against the spread
The Giants are now 18-18 ATS on the season while the Rockies are 16-20 ATS.
Sixteen of the Giants’ last 18 victories were by 2 runs or more, while 17 of the Rockies’ 19 losses were by at least 2 runs.
If the Giants win and the Rockies lose, there is a good chance it will be by multiple runs.
Take the GIANTS -1.5 (-105).
Over/Under
All 5 games of the Rockies’ current homestand had 11 or more runs.
The Giants’ last 3 games and 6 of the last 10 have had at least 11 runs.
Freeland’s home ERA is 6.66.
Take OVER 10.5 (-120).
