The San Francisco Giants (59-60) take on the Colorado Rockies (52-69) Saturday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Coors Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Giants lead 6-4
The Giants lost Friday’s opener 7-4, unable to overcome a 7-run deficit after the 5ht inning. San Francisco has lost 3 in a row after snapping a 5-game win streak. They Giants are now 13-17 over the last 30 games. Another massive problem is they’re just 19-30 within the division.
Colorado DH Elehuris Montero had a career game Friday with 2 homers and 5 RBIs. The Rockies would be in playoff contention if they played every game at Coors Field. They are 34-30 at home and just 18-39 on the road. This should be a slugfest Saturday.

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 9, Giants 6
Money line
Despite allowing 7 ER in 5 1/3 at Coors May 17, Cobb beat the Rockies 10-7. I don’t see that kind of good fortune with the way the Giants have been hitting lately. They’ve scored 40 runs over the last 10 games, but they scored 2 or fewer in 4 of those. The Rockies are really good at home. Take the ROCKIES (+145).

Run line/Against the spread
The run line has a good price for some insurance in case Cobb found something to survive the thin air of Coors. ROCKIES +1.5 (-103) is the way to go.
I also love RANDAL GRICHUK OVER 1.5 TOTAL BASES (-107). He is 9-for-17 (.529) with 2 homers and 8 RBIs lifetime against Cobb.
Over/Under
There is a 95-percent chance of rain and a 12-mph wind to the right-field foul pole. This is a big number, but Cobb’s history in Coors and Feltner’s history everywhere support it.
LEAN OVER 10.5 (-122) for a HALF UNIT.
