Yes, Colorado has a strong home field. But I'll go with the hot-hitting, vastly superior team with the better starter going.
The Giants have hit at least one home run in each of their first seven games. I prefer Jeff Samardzija in a bounce-back spot against Tyler Chatwood. Samardzija didn't pitch that well in a 4-3 loss to the Brewers this past Wednesday in his San Francisco debut giving up three runs in 5 1/3 innings. He is 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA in three career starts versus the Rockies. Samardzija also has had success at Coors Field posting a 1.88 ERA there in 14 1/3 innings.
Chatwood last faced the Giants a year ago and gave up three homers and four walks in what turned out to be a 12-10 Giants road win. Chatwood has a 4.29 lifetime ERA. He'll have to deal with Buster Posey, who is batting .396 in 46 career games at Coors Field.
