Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
The Rockies continue to pile up the losses, and they’ve scored two or fewer runs in six of their last nine games. The Rockies aren’t a team you should be eager to back these days, and Blalock doesn’t make things any better. In seven innings, Blalock has allowed 12 hits and eight runs. Blalock just allowed six runs in four innings against the Reds. Hicks is coming off a nightmarish month of April where he allowed 35 hits and 22 earned runs in 26.1 innings. The Giants deserve to be the big favorite but this line is insane given Hicks recent struggles. I’ll bank on these offenses having some success, and it being a high-scoring contest. Give me the over eight runs.
