Sunday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – NL West rivals clash in a rubber match today at AT&T Park when the Giants host the Rockies at 4:05PM ET.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the Giants –109 money line favorites over their division rivals the Rockies, who are +103 on the ML. The over/under total for today’s game is 7 runs.
After losing in ‘Frisco on Friday night, the Rockies beat the Giants 2-1 on Saturday behind a strong pitching effort by Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed just one run on four hits over six innings of work. Colorado’s bullpen also pitched three scoreless innings to help the Rockies even up this three-game series.
On Sunday it’ll be Jason Hammel taking on Ryan Vogelsong. Hammel is 3-5 on the year with a 3.89 ERA over 69.1 innings, while Vogelsong has pitched tremendously since filling in for the injured Barry Zito. He’s 3-1 on the year with a dazzling 1.77 ERA over 45.2 innings of work.
MLB Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest MLB trends, the under is 5-1 in the last six meetings between these two teams and 36-15-2 in the last 53 games between these two teams in San Francisco. Vogelsong has been outstanding all year and he also hasn’t gotten much run support. In his seven starts this year, the Giants have averaged just 3.28 runs per game. Given the offensive struggles for the Rockies of late, the under seems like a solid bet on Sunday.
