Gonzalez already has a start under his belt against the Giants at Oracle Park, allowing one earned run, four hits and three walks in five innings in a no-decision April 10.
RHP Aaron Sanchez is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. He is 1-1 with a 1.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9 through 19 2/3 IP across four starts.

Money line (ML)
The GIANTS (-160) roughed up the Rockies (+135) in the series opener, winning 12-0. Now they have Sanchez on the bump, and he is burgeoning with confidence after twirling five scoreless frames in his most recent assignment.
San Francisco has cashed in five straight division games, including four in a row against the Rox. In fact, they have outscored Colorado 16-0 across the previous two meetings.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The GIANTS -1.5 (+120) steamrolled the Rockies +1.5 (-145) in Monday’s set opener, and they have won by two or more runs in three of the first four meetings this season.
Five of Frisco’s past six wins have been by two or more runs, too, so if you like the home side to win straight up, toss a little lettuce on the run line, too.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 8 (-110) cashed solely because of the offensive explosion by the Giants on Monday. The Over is worth playing again here, but the lack of runs by the Rockies in the past two meetings makes an Over play a tad risky. Go lightly.
