Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 6, Rockies 3
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s just no value here. Colorado has struggled for much of the season, but it has been decent at home at 31-39, making the Giants moneyline odds at (-225) far too pricey to play.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN GIANTS -1.5 (-150).
With these same pitchers on the mound Saturday, the Giants blew out the Rockies, winning 9-1. Webb will have a strong advantage, and Anderson has struggled mightily this season and those issues have continued at home.
The Giants have won 8 of 9 games against Colorado this season, but have covered just 5 of 9 games. While that’s still a good rate, at these odds, only put a partial unit on the GIANTS -1.5 (-150).

Over/Under
BET UNDER 11 (-120).
The Rockies went Under in every game in their last series against the Cubs with each total closing at 11 or higher. They have gone Under in 5 of their last 9 and are 67-77-1 O/U this season.
The Giants are 63-79-3 O/U this season and 5-4 O/U in their last 9 games. They have gone Under in 2 of Webb’s last 3 starts as well. In the 9-game season series so far, this total would be 2-7 O/U.
Back UNDER 11 (-120).
