Rockies at Giants: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

Money line (ML)
Webb does a nice job limiting bullet contact, but the young Giants hurler has been undone by a .345 BABIP and a crazy low left-on-base rate and a .379 BABIP in leadoff-inning situations. Is he contributing to his troubles with too many walks (4.2 BB/9 last 5 starts)? Yes, but the leadoff and LOB numbers are crushing his ERA. Scouts like his off-speed stuff, and his slider-change combo cuts into major deficiencies of the Colorado attack.
SAN FRANCISCO (-189) is the lean but a moderate one at best. Waiting out a potential price drop is advisable.
New to sports betting? Every winning $18.90 bet on the Giants ML will profit $10. Every $10 bet on the Rockies (+170) profits $17 if they win.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Avoid the temptation to leverage a positive number on the Giants. A banged-up offense could be scratching and clawing for every run Wednesday night. Pass on San Francisco -1.5 (+105).
Over/Under (O/U)
Swim upstream on the surface ERAs and a batter-friendly weather report, and take the UNDER 9 (-110). Consider holding out for an extra half-run on the total.
