The Giants recently swept the Rockies in San Fransisco, and now face them in Denver. Right handed starters Cobb and Kuhl face each other again. Cobb’s April was short and sub-par, and his first start in May was horrid, but since then, he looks back to normal. He held the Rockies to just 1 run over 5+ innings last week.

Kuhl started the season very impressively, but was hit hard by the Giants last time out. Kuhl has a career ERA of 4.33 so he might be starting to show his true colors. He won’t get much relief from the relievers, who collectively have been very poor with an ERA of 6.50, and opposing hitters with a strong .273 batting average. The Giants’ pen has been better but nothing special with an ERA of 4.76 L5, but are at least better than the Rockies. The Rockies essentially had a bullpen day on Monday, using 7 pitchers, so may be short-staffed in the bullpen for Tuesday. Both these teams can hit but the Giants rocked the Rockies for 24 runs in three games, then the light weight Royals scored another 26 runs vs. Colorado in the next series.

The Giants are 6-0 vs the Rockies in Colorado. There is no reason to think that the Rockies’ pitching staff will recover over night. Take the Giants to win.
