The <strong>Giants<\/strong>, by virtue of a three-game winning streak, are actually tied with the Dodgers, 2.5 games back of Arizona and 1.5 games out of a wild-card spot. San Francisco was 18-10 during the month of June, helping to move them five games over .500, as they appear to be picking things up as they start to get healthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colorado<\/strong>, meanwhile, is two games under .500 and 6.5 games behind the Diamondbacks. The Rockies just can\u2019t seem to take any steps forward without soon taking that same number of steps back. Nevertheless, they head into July within striking distance of a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-ole-ace\"><strong>The Ole Ace<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Giants<\/strong> will send <strong>Madison<\/strong> <strong>Bumgarner<\/strong> to the mound Monday night. Bumgarner is making just his sixth start of the season after missing the first two months of the season with a broken finger. In his five outings, Bumgarner is 1-2 with a 2.51 ERA, including seven shutout innings against the <strong>Rockies<\/strong> last week,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.knbr.com\/2018\/06\/21\/it-was-the-madison-we-know-bumgarners-vintage-performance-impacts-more-than-win-column\/\"> as the lefty is showing signs of regaining his ace form.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, last week\u2019s start was in San Francisco and not Coors Field. That being said, <strong>Bumgarner<\/strong> has good career numbers against most of <strong>Colorado\u2019s<\/strong> hitters. <strong>Carlos<\/strong> <strong>Gonzalez<\/strong> has gotten to him, but he\u2019s not the same hitter he was a few years ago. Charlie Blackmon has also managed a .333 average against Bumgarner in his career, but he\u2019s done so with little power. Nearly everyone else in Colorado\u2019s lineup, most notably<strong> Nolan Arenado <\/strong>and<strong> Trevor Story,<\/strong> Bumgarner has held in check in his career.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-new-ace\"><strong>The New Ace<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Facing <strong>Bumgarner<\/strong> and the Giants will be fellow lefty Kyle Freeland. The 25-year old has been Colorado\u2019s best starter this year, posting a 3.29 ERA over 16 starts. Surprisingly, his ERA at home is better than on the road, which is rare for <strong>Colorado<\/strong> pitchers. He\u2019s also made three starts against the Giants this season, giving up four runs over 19 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p>Despite three good starts against the Giants this year, his career numbers against <strong>San<\/strong> <strong>Francisco\u2019<\/strong>s lineup aren\u2019t all that impressive. Joe Panik, Hunter Pence, Gorkys Hernandez, and Nick Hundley have all done damage against <strong>Freeland<\/strong> in his brief career. Also, outside of Evan Longoria, San Francisco\u2019s lineup is close to full strength, so there won\u2019t be many easy outs for Freeland on Monday.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cant-trust-the-pen\"><strong>Can\u2019t Trust the Pen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Both Bumgarner and Freeland have a chance to have a strong outing on <strong>Monday<\/strong> and put their teams in a good position to win. However, it\u2019s tough for starters to go deep into games at <strong>Coors<\/strong> <strong>Field<\/strong>. Colorado\u2019s bullpen is also the worst in the National League, while the Giants have a nice contingent of relief pitchers. At Coors Field, the bullpen can be a huge factor in a game.\u00a0<em style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Therefore, bet the San Francisco Giants -123 over Colorado Rockies on Monday.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Colorado Rockies will host the San Francisco Giants on Monday in a National League West tilt.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3004,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
