Pick
Not a game I’m rushing to the window to bet, but I’d back the Giants here. The Giants for me are just the better team by a fair margin, and while Colorado is able to provide value in some spots, I just don’t see this as one of those opportunities. Ross Stripling hasn’t been great for the Giants, but the Giants bats have been good enough, especially at home, that I think they can back him up here against a Rockies team that to me just looks lost right now. Give me San Francisco here.
