Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the over here. I think there’s a strong possibility this starting pitching matchup could get us to the over on it’s own. Austin Gomber stinks and the Giants have been hitting lefties better than they’ve hit righties all season long and I don’t really expect anything different here. On the other side, Jordan Hicks hasn’t been anything special either, and I think that the Rockies, for as poor as they’ve been on the road, can get to Hicks and plate a few runs of their own here. Give me the over.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
