Colorado has won four straight games at home as their offense has awakened with the return of Troy Tulowitzki. The Rockies have scored 40 runs during that stretch and they’ll face the Giants for the first of a 2-game series in Coors Field. Jonathan Sanchez makes the start for the Giants. He’s 7-6 with a 3.55 ERA and 13 Overs in 21 starts this season. On the road, the lefty is 2-3 with a 3.72 ERA. He took a loss back in a May game in San Francisco against the Rockies. In that game, he gave up three runs and three hits in 4.7 innings of work. Sanchez is 2-4 with a 6.36 ERA in nine career starts against the Rockies. Ryan Spilborghs (5-18), Chris Ianetta (4-15), Troy Tulowitzki (7-15), and Dexter Fowler (3-9) all hit the lefty well. Colorado is hitting .304 at home while averaging 5.9 runs per game in Coors Field. They are hitting .331 over their last seven games.

Aaron Cook is struggling big time for Colorado. He’s 1-2 with a 6.59 ERA in his last three starts. He gave up 10 runs and 15 hits over his last seven innings pitched to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Cook is 1-1 with a 5.84 ERA in two starts against San Francisco giving up eight runs and 14 hits over 12.1 innings pitched. Almost every Giants regular hits over .300 against him with Pat Burrell (13-22), Aaron Rowand (7-20), Edgar Renteria (8-19), Aubrey Huff (3-7), Freddy Sanchez (3-7), Nate Schierholtz (4-7), Travis Ishikawa (5-6), and Buster Posey (2-3) doing the best. The Giants have gone Over in 30 of their 53 road games while hitting .258 as a team. These two teams have gone Over in three of their four meetings in Colorado, and since we expect another high-scoring game here, we’ll recommend a play on the Over between the Giants and Rockies tonight.
