Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants MLB Prediction:
The Giants have been playing very well and I look for that to continue this series. I do not give the Rockies much chance in this one.
San Francisco is a better team and they have done a good job this year when facing teams they are better than.
It will not be easy for San Francisco when going against Marquez, but I feel they can do enough.
Although I do not feel it will be a very high scoring game, I do like the game to go over 7.5 runs.
