Rockies vs Giants Prediction
Give me the Giants in this one. It’s not a great price, considering the Giants long term have not been good against left-handed pitching. However, in the last week or so, the Giants have really stepped up their game against southpaws, and I think Freeland could have some issues matching zeroes with a pitcher like Logan Webb over a full start. I think the Giants run away with this one so give me San Francisco.
