The Rockies have lost seven straight games and have scored just three runs between their last three games, which have all stayed Under. The Giants have scored only five runs in their last three, and all three stayed Under. Madison Bumgarner looked shaky in his last start, and the Giants are 0-3 behind him so far. Kyle Freeland was off in his last start as well. But both offenses won't be able to expose the pitching issues. Under is the play.
This is a value play. Colorado starter Kyle Freeland has seen a lot of the Giants, and he's done well against them, holding Giants hitters to a wOBA of only .266 in 96 plate appearances. He also has a walk rate of 3.1% against them.
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland was 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in four starts against the Giants last year. He also allowed just one earned run in nearly 14 innings of work in two starts in San Francisco. He should provide the stop-gap measure Saturday for Colorado after two losses to start the series. The bulk of the Rockies lineup also has fared well against Madison Bumgarner the past couple seasons.
