Pitching Matchup
Tanner Gordon (0-2, 6.95 ERA, 1.59 WHIP) takes the hill for Colorado, and in his last start, gave up five runs in five innings, but got help from the lineup in a 7-6 win over the Giants. He has given up a total of 14 runs in 13 innings over his last three starts, and two of those came against San Fran, where he gave up nine runs.
Robbie Ray (8-6, 3.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) gets the nod for the Giants, and in his last start, he faced the Rockies, giving up three runs in six innings of a 6-4 win. The Giants have won his last eight starts, with two coming against Colorado.
Get on base for Goodman
Cleanup hitter Hunter Goodman (.251, 27 home runs, 51 RBIs) ranks fourth in the Majors in home runs and is tied for the team lead in RBIs. While batting .364 this month, he has only RBIs, as the leadoff guys are struggling to get on base lately.
McCarthy is hot in July
Jake McCarthy (.299, 9 home runs, 51 RBIs) has been hot in the month of July with 14 RBIs in nine games.
Nice to be back against the Rockies
After losing two in a row, only scoring three runs and nearly being no-hit in the game before the last one, the Giants got back on the horse in Game 1 of this series with an 8-2 win. In the W, they banged out 13 hits, and three players went yard.
Arraez is staying up there
Louis Arraez (.326, 4 home runs, 35 RBIs) ranks third in the Majors in batting average and has had two multi-hit games and an RBI in the last three games.
Devers has been an issue for the Rockies
Rafael Devers (.247, 18 home runs, 49 RBIs) leads the Giants in home runs and RBIs, and in the four recent games facing the Rockies, he has seven hits, three home runs, and five RBIs.
Rockies vs. Giants prediction: Over 8.5 runs (-105)
These teams have lit up the scoreboard, having met four times in the last seven games. In those games, an average of 12.8 runs were scored.
Enough said, take the Over. We don't expect a pitchers' duel here.
