San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Rockies here. I just can’t get there to lay this price with the Giants with Harrison pitching as he’s been a lot more effective at home but has struggled on the road and when you add in the hitter-friendly nature of Coors Field, I don’t think it’s a recipe for him to succeed. It would be nice to know who the Rockies are sending out here, but I still think there’s enough here for the Rockies to steal the series-opening win so give me Colorado.
