Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 6, Giants 4
Money line
The Giants snapped a 2-game skid with a 7-6 win Monday. They have won 7 of their last 9 games but are 2-4 in their last 6 road games. They are 10-7 on the road.
Cobb lost his only start on the road this season.
The Rockies lost their first home series all season when they dropped 2 of 3 games to the Kansas City Royals over the weekend and, with their loss Monday, have uncharacteristically lost 3 of their last 4 home outings.
They are tied with the 3rd-most home wins in baseball with 12.
Expect a bounceback game, especially with Kuhl pitching, who has allowed 1 or 0 runs in 4 of his 6 starts this season.
Take ROCKIES (+130).

Run line/Against the spread
The Giants are 17-18 ATS this season, although they are 10-7 ATS on the road. They are 14-14 ATS as favorites.
The Rockies are 5-2 ATS as home underdogs.
My favorite wager is the money line for the payout, but taking the Rockies to cover gives you some room for error at a decent price.
Take ROCKIES +1.5 (-117).
Over/Under
All 4 games of the Rockies’ current homestand have had more than 10 runs. In their last homestand, 4 of 6 games had 10 or more runs, the previous homestand saw 4 of 7 games exceed that number but just 1 of 3 contests in their opening home series.
However, none of Kuhl’s starts this season have had more than 10 runs.
Take UNDER 10.5 (+105).
