Giants at Rockies 8/6/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Coors Field will play host to a Thursday afternoon NL West Division battle between the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies. Last night, 1B Brandon Belt crushed a three-run blast to lead San Francisco to a 4-3 road victory against Colorado. SP Logan Webb (1-0) gave up two runs (one earned) in five innings to pick up the win for the Giants, who moved to a game below .500 overall.

First-year San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler has yet to name a starting pitcher for this matchup. The Giants rank 25th in the majors with a 5.14 ERA and have yet to log a quality start.

The Colorado Rockies took the first two games of this four-game series and sit atop the division standings with an 8-3 record. On Wednesday, 3B Nolan Arenado hit his third home run of the season to pull Colorado to within one run in the seventh inning. SP Jon Gray (0-1) was tagged for five hits and four runs (three earned) in a losing effort for the Rockies.

Twenty-seven year old southpaw Kyle Freeland (2-0 1.50 ERA) is off to a nice start for the Rockies. Through 12 innings of work, Freeland has allowed just six hits and fanned nine batters.
