The Rockies Offense Has to Get Going

The Rockies' offense has to get going, and even though they picked up the fifth win of the season on Wednesday, they still only scored two runs. It was mostly the pitching that helped them pick up the victory. Brenton Doyle hit a home run and drove in an RBI. Chase Dollander went 5.2 innings, giving up two hits and one run. They need to find a way to string together more hits. 

The Rockies are averaging 3.24 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.93 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th, while the pitching is ranked 29th. They have a negative run differential of -2.69, which is 30th. For a team that plays at Coors Field, the offense has not been good enough. Kyle Freeland is getting the start for the Rockies, and he has a 0-4 record with an ERA of 5.93. Against the Reds in his last start, he went 4.1 innings, giving up ten hits and six runs. 

Giants Look to Bounce Back

The Giants are suddenly struggling, and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago, against the San Diego Padres, they lost 7-4, and in the last game, they lost 5-3. Mike Yasterzemski hit a home run and drove in an RBI. Landen Roupp went 4.1 innings, giving up seven hits and four runs. 

The Giants are averaging 4.63 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.8 runs per game. The offense is ranked 10th, while the pitching is ranked 10th. Wilmer Flores has hit seven home runs and driven in 28 RBIs. Getting the start for the Giants will be Justin Verlander, who sits with a 0-2 record and an ERA of 4.99. Against the Texas Rangers, he went six innings, giving up four hits and one earned run. 

Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

Give me the Giants here to win this game, and it’s going to be an easy victory. Kyle Freeland is on the mound for the Rockies, and he’s been awful. The Giants sent Verlander to the mound, and although his ERA might be higher, he gave up only one earned run in his last start. The Rockies' offense has been so bad all season, and they are going to be awful again here. The Giants will score six or seven runs at least and this will be an easy victory. Back the Giants -2.5 to end up cashing here.
