This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Colorado Rockies.

The Giants come to town satisfied after a 9-6 win in Arizona last night. Colorado on the other hand is looking to get back on track in front of the home town crowd after falling 6-4 in LA yesterday afternoon. The visitors go with Madison Bumgarner (1-2, 2.51 ERA) who went seven shutout innings in a no-decision against these very Rockies on Wednesday. Bumgarner has looked sharp over his last two starts, but Coors Field is the great equalizer when it comes to starting pitchers and suffice it to say, we're expecting some predictable regression from the veteran southpaw tonight. Colorado goes with Kyle Freeland (7-6, 3.29) who earned a no-decision against these very Giants throwing opposite Bumgarner, going seven shutout innings himself, with four strikeouts and one walk. Freeland has been solid across the board this year, but note that he's been at his best at home with a 4-2, 2.95 ERA record. We look for Freeland to continue his progression and we expect Bumgarner to take a step back in this difficult venue. Play on the ROCKIES.
