Jhoulys Chacin makes his first start of the season for the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon as they wrap up their series against the Giants in San Francisco. The right hander was recalled on Tuesday and he pitched one inning so far for the team striking out two against Arizona. Chacin was 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA in four starts at Triple-A Colorado Springs. He throws multiple pitches and he’ll be tough to solve for a Giants lineup that has gone Under the total in 11 of their last 12 games including six of eight games against divisional opponents.

San Francisco’s Jonathan Sanchez has been lights out going 2-1 with a 1.85 ERA so far this year. Sanchez is coming off a solid outing against the Phillies where he limited that lineup to only three hits and one run in five innings of work. Sanchez’s last start against the Rockies came in Colorado last season where he gave up one run and two hits in five innings. Todd Helton (5-20), Clint Barmes (4-17), Ian Stewart (0-4) and Carlos Gonzalez (0-3) all struggle against the lefty. The Rockies average only 4.2 runs per game on the road and they’ve gone Under in five of their last seven away from Coors Field. With two strong pitchers on the mound facing two struggling lineups, we expect a low-scoring game this afternoon.
