San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies Prediction: Giants to close the series with a confident win

San Francisco and Colorado have another face-off series. The score at Oracle Park is tied at 1-1. Who will win the final third game? We'll pick a few bets at once.

San Francisco is having an unexpectedly difficult time

The Giants are unevenly paced in the championship race and are still behind their division leaders, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. In that regard, games against the National League West outsider Colorado Rockies are always a great opportunity for Gabe Kapler's team to redress the balance. This time, however, the home showdown with the Rockies is looking very difficult for San Francisco. The Giants only managed to win the second game in extra innings (2-1), and lost the first game, 3-5. The Giants now have 30-25; the Padres, 35-22; and the Dodgers, 36-20.

San Francisco's starting pitcher for the third game in the series with Colorado is Logan Webb, 5-1 and with a 3.82 ERA in 11 starts.

Colorado rarely wins

Even one win in three games at Oracle Park would be an excellent result for the Rockies, given their status as a recorded outsider. Colorado is 24-32 and in the last place in the NL West division. Even from No. 4 Arizona, Bud Black's team is already three wins behind.

Austin Gomber will pitch for Colorado in the upcoming game, 2-6 and a 6.54 ERA in 10 starts.

Head-to-head encounters

The score in the season series is 6-2 in favor of San Francisco.

Expert Betting Tips

It is unlikely that Colorado has any chance of success in the upcoming game. First of all, the Rockies are traditionally underperforming on the road – at the moment Bud Black's team is 8-16 on the road. Only the Cincinnati Reds are worse in the National League. Second, Logan Webb pitches for the Giants, the one San Francisco has been virtually unbeaten this season with. Finally, the overall level of the Giants and Rockies is certainly not comparable at this point. The Giants just have to confirm the status of the favorite and close the series with Colorado by winning confidently.

Prediction: a win for San Francisco.
