The Colorado Rockies, (26-39, 27-38 RL) have won two consecutive games and six of their last seven overall for the BetUS online sports wagering community in the BetUS Sportsbook and are starting to look a lot like the team that won the National League Pennant in 2007.

The San Francisco Giants, (29-37, 34-32 RL) on the other hand, have dropped two straight to the Rockies, including Wednesday’s 1-0 shutout, after winning four consecutive games.

The NL West rivals will meet once again tonight as the Giants try to avoid losing three straight to the Rockies by handing the ball to impressive left-hander Jonathan Sanchez (5-3, 3.70 ERA), who is seeking his fourth consecutive win after posting a stellar 3-0 record with a 2.05 ERA in his last four starts.

Sanchez is coming off a solid outing in his last start as he limited the Washington Nationals to just four hits and no runs in seven innings of the Giants’ 6-0 win on Saturday.

"He is so focused out there and he is maintaining it no matter what is happening," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

The Rockies counter with rookie Greg Reynolds (1-3, 5.24) who is coming off his first big league win after allowing two runs on four hits in six innings of Colorado’s 7-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

"I think it was a little overdue for me," said Reynolds.

Here is a look at tonight’s key online sports wagering trends followed by my analysis and MLB online betting Free Picks:

The Giants are 4-0 in Sanchez’s last four starts on grass.

The Giants are 6-0 in Sanchez’s last six starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.

The Rockies are 4-1 in their last five games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

The Rockies are 4-1 in their last five vs. a team with a losing record.

The Under is 5-1 in Sanchez’s last six starts vs. a team with a losing record.

The Over is 4-1 in Rockies last five games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.

Analysis: While the Rockies are playing excellent baseball at the moment while trying to get their season back on track, I like the Giants to win this contest with Sanchez on the mound looking for his fourth straight win and out-pitching Colorado’s Greg Reynolds.
