MLB Odds - Rockies (20-27) at Giants (24-22)
By Eric Williams
The Giants are hot right now and enter this game riding a four-game winning streak. The Rockies have played well as of late and enter tonight’s game riding their own two-game winning streak.
Both teams are also starting pitchers who have been mediocre at best in the early going this season, making this game a little bit tougher to predict.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends before I offer bettors my MLB Free Pick.
