San Francisco at Colorado

The Colorado Rockies have a unique advantage in their hitting-friendly park vs. good pitching. That has been demonstrated all season, and again here in this series pounding San Francisco's top pitchers for 14 runs in the first two games of this series. Tonight they face a good pitcher gone bad in Tim Lincecum. Lincecum dominated hitters until this season, where he has struggled to an 8-14 record and an ERA of 5.11. The Giants are a team that is 18 games over .500, but are now just 11-15 behind Lincecum. Lincecum has allowed 7 runs in 8.1 innings of work in this park this season. The Giants have been even worse when Lincecum pitches without extra rest, as they are now 6-21 when he is in rotation. Colorado has excelled with Francis on the mound as a home dog, where they are 10-4 in his last 14 in this role. Play on Colorado
