Colorado at San Francisco

Another road game for Colorado, and a hopeless spot. Colorado is stuck with starter Kyle Kendrick (3-9, 5.96 ERA), who has served up a major-league worst 21 homers. The Rockies are on a 22-58 run on the road, including 13-39 away against a team with a winning record. The defending champs have won three of the last four and have hot hitting catcher Buster Posey, who is 6-for-12 against Kendrick and is a torrid 7-for-16 with nine RBIs over the past four games. The Rockies are 2-11 against a left-handed starter and face one of the best in Madison Bumgarner (7-4, 3.04). Bumgarner had 14 strikeouts in his last start and has 41 strikeouts with only five walks over his last four starts. He has fanned 102 on the season, and the Giants are 14-6 when Bumgarner is a favorite. The Giants are 5-1 in his last six home starts against Rockies, so pounce on the home team with its ace. Play San Francisco.
