Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 8, Rockies 6

Money line

The Giants have now won 12 consecutive games over the Rockies. They simply have their number.

While the Rockies started out looking fantastic at home, they have faltered recently as they’ve dropped 4 of their last 5 at Coors.

Freeland has pitched well for most of the season but the Rockies can’t seem to win for him and he does have a 6.66 home ERA this season.

As much as I like taking the positive odds for Rockies games, with how the Giants just seem to own them, I can’t today.

Take the GIANTS (-165).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are now 18-18 ATS on the season while the Rockies are 16-20 ATS.

Sixteen of the Giants’ last 18 victories were by 2 runs or more, while 17 of the Rockies’ 19 losses were by at least 2 runs.

If the Giants win and the Rockies lose, there is a good chance it will be by multiple runs.

Take the GIANTS -1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

All 5 games of the Rockies’ current homestand had 11 or more runs.

The Giants’ last 3 games and 6 of the last 10 have had at least 11 runs.

Freeland’s home ERA is 6.66.

Take OVER 10.5 (-120).

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco 49ers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (21-14) are on the road to face the Colorado Rockies (17-18) Tuesday for the second game of their 3-game series. First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Giants lead the season series 4-0.

San Francisco won the series opener 7-6 Monday. The win snapped a short 2-game losing skid, but the Giants have won 7 of their last 9 games.

The Rockies are 1-3 so far on their current homestand. They have lost 7 of their last 8 outings.

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP Alex Cobb vs. RHP Chad Kuhl

Cobb (2-1, 3.98 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.38 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 12.4 K/9 through 20 1/3 IP.

  • Won 7-1 and picked up the victory after 1 run on 3 hits in 5 1/3 innings against these Rockies Wednesday.
  • Is making only his 2nd road start of the season.

Kuhl (3-1, 2.88 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 through 34 1/3 IP.

  • Took the loss opposite Cobb Wednesday as he allowed 5 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 4 2/3 innings in his worst start of the season.
  • Has allowed 1 or fewer runs in 4 of his 6 starts.

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).

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (20-14) head to Coors Field Monday to start a 3-game set with National League West co-tenant Colorado Rockies (17-17). First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

San Francisco is 6-4 overall in the last 10 games but lost back-to-back road games at the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday and Sunday.

Colorado is 3-7 in the last 10 and has lost 6 of the last 7 games including the rubber match of a 3-game set with the Kansas City Royals 8-7 Sunday.

The Giants swept the Rockies 3-0 at home last week, and San Francisco outscored Colorado 24-8 in the 3-game series.

Giants at Rockies projected starters

LHP Alex Wood vs. LHP Antonio Senzatela 

Wood is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 30 IP over 6 starts.

  • Last start: Win, 9-2, vs. the Rockies Tuesday with 5 1/3 IP, 7 H, 0 ER (1 R), 2 BB and 4 K.
  • vs. Rockies on the current roster: 2.75 FIP with a .283/.319/.399 expected batting average (xBA), wOBA (xwOBA), slugging percentage (xSLG) slash line, 20.3 K% and 85.1 mph exit velocity (EV) in 133 plate appearances (PA).

Senzatela is 2-2 with a 4.88 ERA, 1.95 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 2.6 K/9 in 27 2/3 IP over 6 starts.

  • Last start: Loss, 9-2, at the Giants Tuesday with 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 2 BB and 1 K.
  • vs. Giants on the current roster: 4.51 FIP with a .317/.396/.536 xBA-xwOBA-xSLG slash line, 13.8 K% and 90.0 mph EV in 109 PA.

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 9, Rockies 5

Money line

LEAN to the GIANTS (-150) only because this ML is a little pricey, and I’m confident enough in San Francisco to make an argument for the RL instead.

But, the Giants beat the Rockies (+122) last week with the same starting pitching matchup, and home-field advantage doesn’t make up the difference. In fact, San Francisco was 7-2 overall in Colorado last season and doubled up the Rockies in runs scored, 72-36.

The Giants’ bats are much hotter lately and there’s an ocean-sized gulf between the two bullpens. Over the past two weeks, San Francisco’s lineup ranks in the top-10 of WAR, wOBA, and wRC+ while Colorado’s lineup is 18th or worse in all of those metrics, according to FanGraphs.

Senzatela grades in the 6th percentile or worse in xBA-xwOBA-xSLG slash line and the 1st percentile in both K% and whiff rate, per Statcast. Also, Colorado’s bullpen has the second-worst xFIP, dead-last in both WHIP and ERA.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN to the GIANTS -1.5 (+100) because they crushed the Rockies +1.5 (-120) in Colorado last season, and all of 7 of their wins at Coors Field in 2021 were by at least 2 runs.

Also, San Francisco is an MLB-best 8-2 RL as road favorites with a plus-1.1 RL margin and Colorado is 9-12 RL as underdogs.

Over/Under

Slight LEAN to the OVER 11.5 (-122) because Colorado is 6-0 O/U in Senzatela’s 6 starts, the Over cashed in the first 3 Giants-Rockies meetings this season and the Over is being steamed up by sharp line movement.

However, betting an Over at Coors Field is a little too predictable, and the hitter-friendly conditions in Colorado are accounted for in the line.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (63-76) host the San Francisco Giants (89-50) Wednesday for the finale of their three-game series at Coors Field with the first pitch scheduled for 3:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

San Francisco mopped Colorado in the first two games of the series by a combined score of 22-8

Season series: Giants lead 11-4.

RHP Anthony DeSclafani takes the mound for the Giants. He is 11-6 with a 3.24 ERA (141 2/3 IP, 51 ER), 1.10 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 across 26 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision in San Francisco’s 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday with a stat line of 6 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 BB and 5 K.
  • DeSclafani is 3-0 against Colorado this season with a 0.90 ERA (20 IP, 2 ER), 0.90 WHIP and 5.3 K/BB through three starts.
    • vs. Rockies on the current roster (102 PA): 2.12 FIP with a .211 batting average (BA), .235 wOBA, .316 expected slugging percentage (xSLG), 28.4 K% and 86.6 mph exit velocity (EV).

RHP Jon Gray is Colorado’s projected starter. He is 7-10 with a 4.13 ERA (126 1/3 IP, 58 ER), 1.32 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 across 24 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 2 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB and 2 K in Colorado’s 5-2 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers Aug. 28.
  • Gray is 1-1 against San Francisco this year with a 5 ER on 11 H, 3 BB and 13 K across two starts.
    • vs. Giants on the current roster (137 PA): 3.54 FIP with a .298 BA, .348 wOBA, .390 xSLG, 24.8 K% and 91.0 mph EV.

Prediction

Rockies 7, Giants 4

Money line (ML)

Slight “LEAN” to the ROCKIES (+120) for a tiny wager because I like the value of their run line and there’s significant “reverse line movement” heading in Colorado’s direction.

The Giants opened as -155 money line favorites and 95% of the cash wagered thus far has been on San Francisco but it has been steamed down to the listed price, according to Pregame.com.

The reasons for the pro-Giants money are obvious: San Francisco has a major edge in the starting pitching duel and the Giants are in a division race with the Dodgers while the Rockies are already eliminated from playoff contention.

However, DeSclafani’s impressive stats against the Rockies all came at home. He isn’t as sharp on the road plus Gray and the Rockies perform a lot better at Coors Field.

DeSclafani’s lower road ERA is also misleading as his hard-contact rate is 8% higher on the road and he has a 3.00 FIP at home compared to a 4.34 road rate. Also, Gray’s home ERA is a full run lower than his road ERA and the Rockies are 45-26 at home.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

DEFINITELY BET the ROCKIES +1.5 (-125) heavier than or instead of the money line since it’s the wiser wager and there has been “sharp” line movement toward Colorado. For example, the Rockies’ run line opened at -109 before it was steamed up to the current price.

This is a “pros vs. Joes” scenario in the betting market with nearly two-thirds of the cash wagered on Colorado while three-quarters of the bets placed have been on San Francisco.

Oddsmakers have reacted to the presumed “sharp” money and, in sports betting, it’s better to follow the money especially when it’s flowing in the opposite direction as the public.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Under 11.5 (-122) because both sides of the market prefer the Under. That said, we’d be getting the worst of the number as the total has been steamed down from the 12-run opener.

Also, the Colorado sides are my favorite bets in this contest, so let’s stick with those.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (88-50) and Colorado Rockies (63-75) play the second game of a three-game series Tuesday at Coors Field. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Giants RHP Logan Webb (8-3, 2.56 ERA) makes his 21st start in his 22nd game. He has a 1.09 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 through 112 1/3 IP.

  • Is 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA across 10 second-half starts. The Giants are 9-1 across those games.
  • His 60.5% ground-ball rate is well above the league average of 42.7%.

Rockies RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez (3-6, 6.13 ERA) makes his 18th start and 23rd appearance. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 5.0 K/9 through 98 1/3 IP.

  • Is 0-1 with a 9.18 ERA over 16 2/3 IP across four starts and one relief appearance in the second half.
  • Has the fifth-worst ERA, worst xERA and third-worst SIERA of any pitcher with 90 innings pitched.

Prediction

Giants 7, Rockies 4

Money line (ML)

The Giants are the right pick here for a number of reasons – they have a major starting pitching edge, a notable advantage in bullpen pitching and an enormous advantage in the platoon split at the plate.

Colorado may be one of the league’s premier home teams but San Francisco has been equally successful on the road. The Rockies are 2-3 in their last five home games when faced with strong competition from the Atlanta Braves and the Giants in Monday’s series opener.

This is all unfortunately baked into the money line price. The play here is to play the game with another favorite in a parlay or PASS on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

As mentioned above, San Francisco has a sizable advantage in terms of platoon splits on the offensive side of the game.

The Giants rank fifth in OPS, eighth in wRC+ and sixth in wOBA against right-handed pitching. While their bats have cooled a bit in the last couple of weeks a trip to the hitter-friendly Coors Field should provide an opportunity to get back on track.

The Rockies are absolutely abysmal against right-handed pitching in contrast. Colorado is 30th in wRC+ and 20th in both OPS and wOBA against righties and hitters will have their work cut out for them against Webb. A previous meeting at Oracle Park in August against the extreme ground-ball pitcher resulted in just 3 hits and 0 runs over 6 innings.

If you’re feeling the value of the -2.5(+100) you can look to this run line, but there it is more reasonable to look to the ALTERNATE RUN LINE of GIANTS -1.5 (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Giants may comfortably get to Gonzalez Tuesday but there is reason to believe the Rockies may not do enough damage to pull their weight in this double-digit total.

Coors Field has a well-deserved reputation as a hitters park but those factors seem to be often weighed too heavily into the number. Coors has played to the eighth lowest Over percentage of any park.

With a small “lean” and perhaps a partial-unit play (in case the Giants go off) back the UNDER 11.5 (-107).

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (87-50) and Colorado Rockies (63-74) play the opener of a three-game series Monday at Coors Field. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Giants RHP Kevin Gausman (12-5, 2.52 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 through 157 IP.

  • Allowed just 2 runs on 4 hits and a walk with 7 strikeouts across 5 innings in a no-decision against the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday.
  • Hasn’t taken a loss in six starts dating back to July 30 against the Houston Astros, and hasn’t taken a loss across four road starts dating back to June 29 at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (5-6, 4.22 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.34 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 through 91 2/3 IP.

  • Left his last start in Texas after 21 pitches and just 1 inning due to a left hip impingement but is expected to be fine to start here.
  • Started the season 1-6 but has won four straight decisions over his last six starts dating back to July 29.

Prediction

Giants 5, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

The first-place GIANTS (-155) are a risky play at this price, but with Gausman on the hill, they’re the play on the road. San Francisco has cashed in four straight as a road favorite and is 23-11 in its last 34 games overall.

You’ll be betting against Freeland and playing the percentages as the Rockies have won six straight starts with the left-hander on the hill.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

GIANTS -1.5 (+100) are worth a small-unit play. Six of San Francisco’s last seven wins against Colorado have been by 2 or more runs, so if you like them on the money line you have to like them on the run line too.

Over/Under (O/U)

Playing the UNDER 10.5 (+105) is always risky business in the rarefied air at Coors Field as the game can turn at the drop of a hat. However, we have two pitchers playing well and the offense should be limited – even at a mile above sea level.

The Under is a perfect 5-for-5 in the last five for the Giants as favorites and 5-1-1 in their last seven on the road.

The Under is 8-1 in the last nine for the Rox as home underdogs and 9-2 in their last 11 inside the division.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (17-11) take on the Colorado Rockies (10-18) Tuesday night in the second 7-inning game of their doubleheader at Coors Field with an opening pitch set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Giants lead 5-1.

LHP Alex Wood gets the start for the Giants. He is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA (18 IP, 3 ER), 0.67 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 10.0 K/9 in 3 starts.

  • Last outing: Win in 6 IP with 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB and 9 K in San Francisco’s 7-3 victory over Colorado Wednesday.
  • Career vs. Rockies: 5-3 with a 6.20 ERA (65 1/3 IP, 45 ER), 1.49 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 over 13 starts and 3 relief appearances.
    • vs. Rockies on the current roster: 64 at-bats with a .375/.406/.547 slash line and 2 HR.
    • Career at Coors Field: 1-2 with a 10.00 ERA (27 IP, 30 ER), 2.04 WHIP and 8.7 K/9 across 7 starts and 1 relief appearance.

RHP Ryan Castellani makes his season debut for the Rockies. Last season, Castellani was 1-4 with a 5.82 ERA (43 1/3 IP, 28 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 5.4 BB/9 and 5.2 K/9 over 9 starts and 1 relief appearance in his first year in MLB.

Castellani made 1 start and 1 relief appearance vs. the Giants last year: 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA (6 2/3 IP, 4 ER), 1.80 WHIP and 4.1 K/9.

Prediction

Giants 5, Rockies 2

Money line (ML)

Slight “LEAN” to the GIANTS (-145) for a quarter unit because I much prefer San Francisco’s run line for the First 5 Innings at a plus-money payout.

Castellani has little to no success to speak of and Wood’s stuff has been on-point so far this season. Statcast grades Wood in the 90-plus percentile in expected wOBA, chase rate and barrel% in 2021.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the GIANTS -0.5 (+105) for the FIRST 5 INNINGS instead of their full-game run line price because Wood has a decisive edge over Castellani in the starting pitching matchup and four of San Francisco’s five wins over Colorado this season were by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 8 (-110) for a quarter unit in anticipation of Wood having a good outing and San Francisco’s lineup is in the bottom-third of MLB in several advanced hitting categories.

Also, the Giants could be without three everyday starters including infielders Donovan Solano, Tommy La Stella and Brandon Crawford, and OF Mike Yastrzemski.

There has also been some value in taking the Under in Giants-Rockies games at Coors Field since it’s one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in MLB.

The Under is 5-2-2 in the last nine Giants-Rockies meetings at Coors Field.
