Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 7, Rockies 4
Money line
The San Francisco offense was clicking along with an .819 OPS from Aug. 6-15. That hot streak came to a halt the last 3 nights as the Giants went a combined 1-for-20 with runners in scoring position scoring a combined 4 runs in those games.
The visiting team is the lean here, but not an actionable one with a price north of -160. Watch the line just in case; PASS if there is no change.

Run line/Against the spread
Wood has been hurt by a .311 batting average on balls in play. He’s been sharp of late, and the Giants are worth the multi-run play in the high-octane run environment of Coors Field.
TAKE SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (-100).
Over/Under
There are some Under-lean elements in the Giants’ overall production-versus-expected production numbers. But recent bullpen slumps on both sides cancel that out.
AVOID.
