Colorado Rockies

San Francisco Giants
(-110/-110)-295
As the San Francisco Giants prepare to host the Colorado Rockies on September 28, 2025, both teams are looking to make the most of their remaining games this season. The Giants currently sit at 80-81, having had an average year, while the Rockies are struggling at 43-118, marking a dismal campaign. The Rockies have been particularly poor, as evidenced by their last game, where they were shut out by the Giants, further highlighting their offensive woes.
Logan Webb, the Giants’ projected starter, is having a solid season with a 14-11 record and a commendable 3.30 ERA. Webb is ranked as the 9th best starting pitcher in MLB, showcasing his elite status among his peers. His ability to generate ground balls (54% GB rate) could play to his advantage against a Rockies lineup that has hit just 160 home runs this season, ranking them 6th least in the league. Additionally, Webb’s low walk rate (5.5% BB) might limit the Rockies’ opportunities, as they are the most impatient team at the plate, drawing the fewest walks in MLB.
On the other side, Colorado’s McCade Brown has had a rough go this season, with a 0-4 record and a troubling 7.54 ERA. His projections suggest he may only pitch 4.4 innings while allowing 2.5 earned runs, which doesn’t bode well against a Giants lineup that, despite ranking 22nd in overall offense, has the potential to capitalize on Brown’s struggles.
With the Giants favored heavily in this matchup, the projections indicate they could score around 4.68 runs, while the Rockies are expected to struggle to reach their projected total of 2.82 runs. This game shapes up to be a test for both teams, with the Giants looking to build momentum as the season winds down.
