Final Rockies-Giants Prediction & Pick
Neither offense is very good, and coming into the game, the Rockies have been better at the plate than the Giants. Further, neither pitching staff has been good either. Still, the Rockies have gotten better pitching than the Giants as of late too. Jordan Hicks has struggled some as of late, and while Ty Blach will not go deep into the game, he should be able to go deep enough to let the Rockies keep this one close. Take the Rockies with the extra runs in this one.
