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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (53-92) welcome the San Francisco Giants (75-71) to Coors Field Friday. First pitch to kick off the 4-game series is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 8-1

The Giants have swept the Rockies in 2 of 3 series this season. They are coming off a 6-5 extra-innings win over the Cleveland Guardians Wednesday, closing as a -148 favorite. San Fran has lost its last 6 road games is 32-39 on the road this season.

The Rockies are 31-39 at home this season and sit last in the NL West (San Fran sits 2nd in the division). Colorado is 2-5 in its last 7 games and is coming off a 7-3 win over the Chicago Cubs, closing as a +178 underdog.

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Chase Anderson

Webb (10-12, 3.40 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 193 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 9-1 home win vs. the Rockies Saturday

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s just no value here. Colorado has struggled for much of the season, but it has been decent at home at 31-39, making the Giants moneyline odds at (-225) far too pricey to play.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN GIANTS -1.5 (-150).

With these same pitchers on the mound Saturday, the Giants blew out the Rockies, winning 9-1. Webb will have a strong advantage, and Anderson has struggled mightily this season and those issues have continued at home.

The Giants have won 8 of 9 games against Colorado this season, but have covered just 5 of 9 games. While that’s still a good rate, at these odds, only put a partial unit on the GIANTS -1.5 (-150).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET UNDER 11 (-120).

The Rockies went Under in every game in their last series against the Cubs with each total closing at 11 or higher. They have gone Under in 5 of their last 9 and are 67-77-1 O/U this season.

The Giants are 63-79-3 O/U this season and 5-4 O/U in their last 9 games. They have gone Under in 2 of Webb’s last 3 starts as well. In the 9-game season series so far, this total would be 2-7 O/U.

Back UNDER 11 (-120).

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco Giants (75-71) and Colorado Rockies (53-92) open up a 4-game set at Coors Field Thursday. First pitch is at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 8-1

The Giants capped a 5-1 homestand with a 6-5 win in extra innings over the Cleveland Guardians Wednesday. San Francisco sits 1/2 game behind a cluster of teams for the final Wild Card spot, and every game will be important down the stretch.

The Rockies just took 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs at Coors Field. They have just won 5 of their last 20 games but are a better home team at 31-39. The Rockies are a miserable 9-32 against divisional foes.

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP Logan Webb vs. RHP Chase Anderson

Webb (10-12, 3.40 ERA) makes his 31st start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 through 193 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K Saturday against Rockies
  • Last 5 starts vs. Rockies: 4-0, 1.47 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 29 K in 30 2/3 IP

Anderson (0-5, 6.49 ERA) makes his 15th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 through 68 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 1/3 IP, 6 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 K Saturday against Giants
  • Last 5 starts vs. Giants: 0-2, 6.65 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 23 K in 21 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Giants are heavy favorites here and they have dominated the rebuilding Rockies, so we’ll have to get a little creative. Webb is 3-1 with a 4.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 7.9 K/9 in 7 career starts at Coors Field. Webb has at least 4 K’s in 6 of 7 starts and in 4 of his last 5 against Colorado.

So let’s take the GIANTS ML + WEBB 4 K’s (-110).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants could absolutely cover this 2.5, but the degree of difficulty is just too steep — especially when there is juice. The Rockies have covered this spread in 6 of the last 10 meetings.

So I’ll take the ROCKIES +2.5 (-115) for a HALF-UNIT.

Over/Under

The total jumped up to 10.5 this morning, which opens a potential play. The Rockies are just 5-5 O/U over the last 10 games, and the Over is 5-5 in the last 10 meetings between these teams. This number went Under in 3 straight at Coors Field to start the week.

So I’m going to LEAN UNDER 10.5 (-115).

Season series: Giants lead 10-5

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP John Brebbia vs. RHP Jose Urena

Brebbia (6-2, 2.86 ERA) makes his 8th start in what will be his league-leading 71st appearance. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 through 63 IP.

  • This will be his 2nd start in 3 days and is likely to be another short one — he has yet to work more than 2 frames in any outing in 2022
  • Owns a 2.08 ERA with just 1 home run allowed in 30 1/3 IP on the road

Urena (3-6, 5.49 ERA) makes his 19th appearance (15th start). He has a 1.63 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 5.3 K/9 through 80 1/3 IP.

  • Has displayed some awful skills, including a 2.5% K-BB% that is 2nd worst among all pitchers with 70 or more innings pitched
  • Allowed 2 ER or fewer in 3 of his last 5 starts, but in the other 2 outings he allowed a combined 15 ER in 6 2/3 IP
  • Has been brutal at home with a 6.57 ERA in 38 1/3 IP this year

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 8, Rockies 5

Money line

Urena’s skills have been atrocious. He doesn’t get many whiffs and walks far too many batters and he brings plenty of blowup potential to the table every time out — especially at Coors Field.

The San Francisco bats should have a big day in this one so take the GIANTS (-117).

Run line/Against the spread

Colorado has surrendered 22 runs in the first 3 games of the series and Urena isn’t a good bet to stop the bleeding. Ten of its last 11 home losses have been by more than a single run, and that trend should continue Thursday afternoon.

Go with GIANTS -1.5 (+125).

Over/Under

The Giants will go with a bullpen day for the second time in the series, and they have asked a lot of their relief corps on the trip to Colorado. In addition to Tuesday’s bullpen game, the relievers totaled 9 1/3 IP in the other 2 games.

The Colorado offense should get something going against the San Francisco ‘pen today, and it would be surprising if the Giant bats don’t do their part in getting to this total. The number is high but deservedly so. Back the OVER 11.5 (-105).

RHP Jakob Junis vs. LHP Kyle Freeland

Junis (4-3, 3.53 ERA) has appeared in 15 games (12 as a starter). He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 71 1/3 IP.

  • Owns a 5.40 ERA in the second half

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The San Francisco offense was clicking along with an .819 OPS from Aug. 6-15. The Giants have had all sorts of trouble of late batting with runners in scoring position, and that can artificially tamp down offensive production.

The visiting team is the lean here, but not an actionable one with a price north of -125. Watch the line just in case; PASS if there is no change.

Run line/Against the spread

San Francisco’s offense is much stronger against lefties. Freeland has certainly struggled of late, and on this day he’s backed by a fatigued Rockies relief corps (especially at the back end).

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

There are some slight Under lean elements here nothing worth the -130 premium being charged on the 11.5.

AVOID.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

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.

Cobb (4-6, 3.99 ERA) makes his 20th start of the season. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 99 1/3 IP.

  • He’s 2-0 but has 7.50 ERA (12 IP, 10 ER) and 1.67 WHIP in 2 career outings at Coors Field

  • Has 6.56 ERA (23 1/3 IP, 17 ER) and 2-2 record with 1.46 WHIP in 5 outings (4 starts) at Coors in 2022.

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.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Francisco Giants (59-59) and Colorado Rockies (51-69) meet Friday at 8:40 p.m. ET to swing into a 3-game series at Coors Field in Denver. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: San Francisco leads 6-3; the Giants are 21-7 against the Rockies since the beginning of last season

The Giants are coming off back-to-back losses, but San Francisco is 5-2 over its last 7 games. Road trips have been a problem area for this club. The Giants are 7-17 with a 5.13 ERA in their last 24 games on the road.

The Rockies head into the weekend having lost 5 in a row. Colorado owns a paltry .459 OPS over that stretch. Since July 28, the Rockies are just 6-15.

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.

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).

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.

  • 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.

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).

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.
