Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants – July 4 at ATT Park
The San Francisco Giants are the hottest team in the month of June and are just two games in back of the Cubs for the best record in the National League. The Colorado Rockies needs to put together a consistent pitching rotation at Coors Field to truly compete for the NL West pennant. The ballgame between the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants is scheduled to take place Monday, July 4, 2016, at 4:05 p.m. ET at ATT Park. The ballgame will be broadcast on ESPN.
The San Francisco Giants pitching staff has gotten the team out to a great first half. The Giants need to concentrate on picking up the pace on the offense. The Giants will send ageless wonder Jake Peavy to the mound. He continues to pitch in this league but he doesn’t have his stuff anymore. Peavy has a 4-7 record for this season and a 5.33 ERA. San Francisco has won five of his eight home starts where his ERA is his best at 4.36.
The Colorado Rockies will send Eddie Butler to the mound for this ballgame. Butler hasn’t looked good no matter where he has pitched this season. He has a 1-2 record at home this season with a 9.85 ERA. He has been a little better on the road with a 1-3 record and a 4.55 ERA. For his nine starts with the Rockies, the opposing team is hitting him with a .320 batting average. Butler has given up 16 ERs and 5 home runs in his last three starts. One bright spot for Butler is back on May 8 at AT&T, he threw six innings of shutout ball against the Giants. However Top Sports Blog believes Butler will not effect the Giants offense in their own ballpark once again. We have seen these teams play some high scoring games the last seven of 10 times they played by the bay. We fully expect another high scoring game with the edge favoring the Giants.
