The San Francisco Giants (75-71) and Colorado Rockies (53-92) open up a 4-game set at Coors Field Thursday. First pitch is at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Giants lead 8-1
The Giants capped a 5-1 homestand with a 6-5 win in extra innings over the Cleveland Guardians Wednesday. San Francisco sits 1/2 game behind a cluster of teams for the final Wild Card spot, and every game will be important down the stretch.
The Rockies just took 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs at Coors Field. They have just won 5 of their last 20 games but are a better home team at 31-39. The Rockies are a miserable 9-32 against divisional foes.

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 6, Rockies 4
Moneyline
The Giants are heavy favorites here and they have dominated the rebuilding Rockies, so we’ll have to get a little creative. Webb is 3-1 with a 4.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 in 7 career starts at Coors Field. Webb has at least 4 K’s in 6 of 7 starts and in 4 of his last 5 against Colorado.
So let’s take the GIANTS ML + WEBB 4 K’s (-110).
Run line/Against the spread
The Giants could absolutely cover this 2.5, but the degree of difficulty is just too steep — especially when there is juice. The Rockies have covered this spread in 6 of the last 10 meetings.
So I’ll take the ROCKIES +2.5 (-115) for a HALF-UNIT.
Over/Under
The total jumped up to 10.5 this morning, which opens a potential play. The Rockies are just 5-5 O/U over the last 10 games, and the Over is 5-5 in the last 10 meetings between these teams. This number went Under in 3 straight at Coors Field to start the week.
So I’m going to LEAN UNDER 10.5 (-115).
