Giants vs Rockies Prediction

The Giants are 10-2 in their last 12 head-to-head meetings against the Rockies, and are 4-1 in their last 5 visits in Colorado. Over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 meetings.

In this Giants vs Rockies Prediction, the Giants are coming as -230 road favorites. Ray takes the mound for the Giants, and while he had some bad starts lately, he has been better on the road, with a 3.02 road ERA. On the flip side, Marquez has been weaker at home for the Rockies, with a 6.36 home ERA, and in his only previous start against the Giants this season, he was torched for 5 earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched. The Giants also have the second-best bullpen ERA in the league, and are better against right-handed pitching, so I expect them to keep dominating the inferior Rockies team by 2+ runs once again today.
