Like what I have seen from Greene this season and he seems to be understanding the limitations of his arsenal a bit more and pitching smarter. Not buying the Snakes starter, who I believe has a future in the pen but his 5 ERA is in the rotation due to some injuries. I don't see him providing any depth here. Reds can run like crazy and can juice the offense that way. Reds will fight off the sweep here and get lineup going against a lesser starter

Los Gigantes need to stack every win they can get vs lesser teams (there aren't that many around) and Hickes only threw four innings last time out against a relentless Phillies lineup (4 walks), but the chore is much different here against the lowly Rockies, who will chase plenty of elevated fastballs they cant reach. Hicks has gone over 5 innings with some regularity and could easily finish 6 against this lineup.

Los Gigantes stopper is a former closer who has been one of the best pitchers in the NL so far this season. The experiment is showing no signs of fading with Hicks holding his velo and getting swing-and-miss with secondaries as well. I don't trust the Giants to score a ton, even in the altitude of Coors, however, and don't like their pen all that much, so let's shorter the game here against the Rockies starter, who is not good.

It's been well documented how much Haliburton's scoring sagged int he second half of the season. He isn't the same guy, and in the last two games the Pacers biggest offensive gains were made with McConnell leading their second team. He was a perimeter monster out of nowhere to close out the Bucks and hoisted up 16 shots (in just 22 mins) in Game 1, to just 6 in 36 for Haliburton. I think the Pacers keep riding the hot hand here and I project him for 15+ tonight with the Pacers playing desperate basketball. He's averaging 15/G in his last 10 and has 38 points in his last two games.
