San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Rockies here. I just don’t love how the Giants have looked, and Webb has historically been a stronger starter in San Francisco. I know he’s got solid numbers against the Rockies lately, going back to September of last season, but Freeland’s pitched really well since coming back from the IL and I just feel that the Rockies are where the value lies in this game. Give me Colorado.
