The Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants meet Sunday in MLB action from Oracle Park. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants prediction.
The Colorado Rockies will send out Gabriel Hughes for the start here and Hughes is 0-4 with a 5.61 ERA and 31 strikeouts this season. Blade Tidwell will start for San Francisco and is 0-0 with a 2.78 ERA and 19 strikeouts this season.
The Colorado Rockies come into this game looking to rebound from their 7-1 loss at the hands of the Giants last time out to sit at 49-74 on the year. After this series, the Rockies will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series at home.
TJ Rumfield has 123 hits with 24 doubles, 2 triples, 13 home runs and 59 RBIs while Ezequiel Tovar has 77 hits with 20 doubles, 9 home runs and 37 RBIs. Hunter Goodman’s added 104 hits with 16 doubles, 34 home runs and 69 RBIs. Troy Johnston has 91 hits with 25 doubles, 3 home runs and 43 RBIs. Willi Castro also has 97 hits with 18 doubles, 13 home runs and 49 RBIs. Jake McCarthy also has 114 hits with 25 doubles, 7 triples, 13 home runs and 67 RBIs.
The San Francisco Giants come into this game looking to add on to their win over the Rockies from Saturday to sit at 51-72 this season. After this series, the Giants will head on the road for a series against the Cleveland Guardians.
Willy Adames has 100 hits with 25 doubles, 19 home runs and 48 RBIs along with 133 strikeouts. Matt Chapman has 72 hits with 18 doubles, a triple, 7 home runs and 42 RBIs and Jung Hoo Lee has 124 hits with 26 doubles, 4 triples and 46 RBIs. Rafael Devers also has 111 hits with 27 doubles, 24 home runs and 64 RBIs but also has 136 strikeouts this season.
I’m on the Rockies here. Colorado didn’t look great on Saturday but in a pitcher friendly ballpark against a soft-hitting Giants lineup, I think Hughes does better here and on the other side, I’m not sold on Blade Tidwell’s game against a Rockies team that’s done well against righties as of late. All in all I have to roll with Colorado in this one.
