Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I don’t trust either one of these offenses to be consistent and while Freeland has had issues on the road this season, the Giants offense as a whole has been frustrating to watch as of late. On the other side, Roupp is one of the Giants’ better starting options, and I think Roupp delivers a strong outing here. Give me the under.
