Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 5, Rockies 3

The Giants (-160) are 6-14 on the road, while the Rockies are only 5-10 at home this season.
But the Giants are 5-2 in Harrison’s starts and have won his last 4 outings. He has allowed only 1 run in his last 2 outings.
Meanwhile, Hudson has allowed 17 runs in his last 4 starts.
Betting the Giants at -160 to win isn’t terrible, but you will get better value with the run line.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Seven of the Giants’ last 8 wins have been by multiple runs.
Two of the Rockies’ last 3 losses and 3 of the last 5 have been by only 1 run, but 18 of their 26 losses overall have been by more than 1 run.
Their last 5 home losses have been by 2 or more runs.
BET GIANTS -1.5 (-105).
