10* San Francisco (4:35 ET): This series opener sets up well for the Giants. It’s their home opener. They also had Thursday (yesterday) off while the Rockies were busy entertaining the D’backs. While Colorado won yday’s game rather easily (7-3), it’s still a disadvantage when the other team is coming off an off-day. This will mark the Rockies’ 1st game outside of Coors Field this season and it’s certainly reasonable to expect their offensive production to dip dramatically, as it typically does every other season on the road.

The Giants have started 3-3. They just took two of three from the heavily hyped Padres in San Diego. They did so despite never scoring more than three runs in any of the three games. That speaks to the pitching. I had them in Monday’s series opener. Note that SF has not allowed more than four runs in a game since Opening Day, a game which they blew a 6-1 lead and lost in extra innings. Take away the one disastrous six-run inning they allowed in that game and the Giants have allowed just 16 runs the rest of the year.

Johnny Cueto will start Friday’s game. Cueto went 5 ⅔ innings his first time out and allowed only three runs in a 6-3 win. He is 9-4 with a 3.18 ERA in 18 career starts vs. the Rockies. As per usual, Colorado’s offensive production dropped by a full run per game when on the road last season. They are just 42-69 away from Coors Field the L2 seasons. I don’t like starter Gomber either; he had seven walks in his first outing and gave up three runs in three innings. 10* San Francisco
