San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Picks and Prediction
San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Pick
- Pick: Colorado Rockies Moneyline
Colorado gets the nod despite the slightly lower matchup predictor percentage. The Rockies have won the most recent meeting by a wide margin and hold advantages in nearly every major offensive category, including runs scored, batting average, hits, home runs, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Those offensive numbers make Colorado the stronger selection in this matchup.
San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Total Pick
- Pick: Over 10.5
I like the over if the total is set at 10.5. Both projected starters enter with ERAs above 5.50, and Colorado’s pitching staff owns a 5.54 team ERA. The most recent game between these clubs finished with 18 total runs, and both offenses have shown they can produce plenty of hits. I expect another game with solid scoring opportunities.
