San Francisco Giants

@

Colorado Rockies

On September 3, 2025, the Colorado Rockies will host the San Francisco Giants at Coors Field for the third game of their series. The Rockies have struggled this season with a dismal record of 39-100, while the Giants sit at a slightly more respectable 70-69. In their last matchup, the Rockies fell to the Giants by a score of 7-4, continuing their downward spiral.

German Marquez is projected to take the mound for the Rockies. He has had a tumultuous season with a 3-12 record and a troubling ERA of 6.14. Despite his low rankings—235th among MLB starting pitchers—projections suggest he could experience some improvement, as his xFIP of 5.05 is notably lower than his ERA. However, his recent performance was far from encouraging, as he allowed 8 earned runs in just 4 innings in his last outing.

Robbie Ray, starting for the Giants, enters the game with a solid record of 10-6 and an impressive ERA of 3.18. While his advanced stats suggest he might have been benefitting from some good luck, he remains a capable pitcher. Ray’s projections indicate he will pitch an average of 5 innings, allowing 3.4 earned runs.

Offensively, the Rockies rank 27th in MLB, while the Giants sit at 21st. Both lineups struggle to produce, but the Rockies’ woes are particularly pronounced, ranking in the bottom tier in batting average, home runs, and runs scored. Despite this, the Rockies have an implied team total of 4.79 runs, which is relatively high given their offensive struggles.

With the Giants favored to win, they look to continue taking advantage of a Rockies team that has faced significant challenges this season. As the teams clash, bettors will want to consider the potential for a high-scoring game, especially with a game total set at 11.5 runs.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-185)
  Robbie Ray is an extreme flyball pitcher (40.2% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the misfortune of pitching in the #8 HR venue in the majors in this matchup.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Rafael Devers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Rafael Devers is apt to have an edge against every reliever for the duration of the game, since the bullpen of the Colorado Rockies only has 1 same-handed RP.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen projects as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in the game.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• German Marquez – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  German Marquez will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against 6 opposing bats in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Tyler Freeman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Extreme flyball bats like Tyler Freeman tend to be more successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Robbie Ray.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the Colorado Rockies are expected to score the 2nd-most runs (6.05 on average) of all teams on the slate today.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
