San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m backing the Rockies in this one. I just don’t think that Robbie Ray is in good form right now, and I think this is a situation where the Rockies have found some confidence in playing at home. Ray has been getting beat up in recent starts and I think that the Rockies get to him and pull off the sweep here. Give me Colorado.
