Rockies at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 7, Giants 3
Moneyline
The ROCKIES (+155) are winless this season at Oracle Park and 14-39 on the road, the worst mark in the National League.
But the Giants have lost Hicks’ last 5 starts and haven’t scored more than 3 runs in his last 4 outings. Hicks has allowed 3 or more runs in 5 straight starts and has not pitched more than 5 innings.
The Rockies have won 3 of Gomber’s last 4 starts.
The Giants have not swept a 4-game series this season and have only won 4 straight games twice; their last 4-game win streak was May 22-25.
BET ROCKIES (+155).
Run line/Against the spread
There is no need to bet the Rockies on the run line. Ten of their last 12 losses have been by multiple runs. If they don’t pull the outright upset, they won’t likely cover.
PASS.
Over/Under
Six of the Giants’ last 9 games have not gone over 8 runs.
Five of the Rockies’ last 8 have not surpassed 8.
But 6 of Gomber’s last 8 starts have had 9 or more total runs.
BET OVER 8 (-105).
