Wood has been shaky lately, allowing 15 runs in his last 30 innings, but he’s a serviceable veteran who will likely figure things out. Lambert has been god awful all season, and that includes allowing 24 hits and 17 runs in his last 14.2 innings. The Giants need to keep winning to keep their lead in the NL West, and they’ve won four straight against the Rockies. Give me the Giants and the RL for max betting value.
