Rockies vs Giants Prediction
San Francisco comes into this contest looking to secure the series win, and they are a huge favorite in this game. The Giants are 11-5 at home this year, while the Rockies are just 2-16 on the road. Colorado has been one of the worst teams in the MLB this year, and they are starting Marquez, who has allowed at least five earned runs in four straight outings. There isn’t much value with the Giants, but I am going to lay the -2.5 runs with them here.
