Giants vs Rockies Prediction
I’m on the Rockies here. I’m just not in a position where I feel like laying any sort of odds with a San Francisco Giants team that is just playing out the string here. Marquez has been better away from Coors Field for the better part of his career, and I just feel like the value is on Colorado in this matchup. Give me the Rockies here.
