The 75-71 San Francisco Giants are very much alive in the Wild Card hunt and will open a 4-game set with the Colorado Rockies tonight at Coors Field. To say the Giants have owned the Rockies would be an understatement. San Fran has won 16 of the last 17 meetings with Colorado and is expected to have Logan Webb toeing the rubber, who also owned the Rockies. Webb is 10-12 with a 3.40 ERA on the season, 8-2 in his career against Colorado with a 3.24 ERA and is 2-0 this year against them with an ERA of only 1.77. He last faced Colorado on Saturday where he pitched 6 scoreless innings resulting in a 9-1 Giants romp. The Rockies are 53-92 on the season and are obviously eliminated from post-season play. They are likely to send Chase Anderson to the hill. Anderson is winless, at 0-5, with a 6.49 ERA and is 0-1 this year against the Giants with a bloated ERA of 9.35. After yesterday’s 6-5 comeback win over Cleveland, San Fran will also have momentum on their side and should come out on top in this one. The Giants won’t come cheap but are still worth considering.
