Rockies vs. Giants prediction and odds for Sunday Night Baseball (Take the UNDER)

Yes, it's the first Sunday of NFL football of the year, but that doesn't mean we can't wait and/or bet on Sunday night baseball as well.

Now, let's dive into the odds for tonight's showdown.

Sure, you could lat -220 juice and bet on the Giants to win, but you won't get much bang for your buck that way. Instead, I'm going to recommend to bet on the UNDER 8.5 runs at -105 odds.

The Rockies aren't at Coors Field tonight, which means their offense is going to be without much bite. In fact, they have the worst OPS on the road in Major League Baseball at just .652. That has led to the second fewest runs on the roads amongst all teams, scoring just 276.

That alone means this has the potential to be a low-scoring affair.

Let's also be honest. The Giants offense hasn't been so hot since the All-Star Break, ranking last in OPS in that time frame with a mark of just .656. They've also scored the second fewest total runs in the second half of the season with just 196.

The Rockies' offense is terrible on the road, and the Giants offense has been subpar since the break. All of that points to this being a low-scoring matchup.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
