Giants Analysis: They just broke a 4-game losing run
The Giants had lost four out of the previous seven games and had a 1-6 record going into this series. Those games were all played away from home. It’s simple to place the blame for San Francisco’s downward trajectory on pitching. That is, the majority of their pitchers are not Jordan Hicks. He has a 1.89 ERA, 3.25 FIP, and 1.026 WHIP going into this game. Hicks has given up just one home run. The Giants bullpen, which ranks 20th in FIP, 25th in WAR, and 27th in ERA, is in position behind him. The question will be whether the relievers can hold on if Hicks gives them a lead. With 3.67 runs per game, this offense is ranked 23rd in the league.
Rockies Analysis: They’ve lost 3 games in a row
With an 8-26 record, the Colorado Rockies are last in the NL West and have had a difficult season. They must quickly find a way to improve. The Rockies have averaged 3.62 runs per game so far this season, enough for 24th place in MLB with a.660 team OPS. Charlie Blackmon, Colorado’s designated hitter (.594 OPS, 11 runs) is not the only batter in the lineup who has struggled this season to find his game. After pitching 3.1 innings and giving up four runs on five hits, three walks, and three strikeouts against the Miami Marlins, right-hander Peter Lambert (2-1, 5.66 ERA) has been struggling a little bit.
