This is a 9* on SF

San Francisco did what it needed to last night and that’s win, 5-2 over the Rockies. The Giants are in the thick of the Wild Card hunt in the National League at 27-27 on the year. Two other NL teams, the Reds and Brewers, are also at .500 and at most only two of these teams can make the playoff field. (There’s also Philadelphia in the East, but they are now two games below .500 after being swept in a doubleheader Tuesday). The Giants need to take advantage of these next two games with the hapless Rockies as they’ll be finishing up the season with four games against tough San Diego. The Rockies now have virtually no shot at making the playoffs, so we expect them to “roll over.” They’ve shut down Nolan Arenado for the remainder of the season. Wednesday night’s starter, Ryan Castellani, has a 7.85 ERA in his last five appearances. While the Giants hadn’t officially announced a starter yet, it’s looking like it will be Webb and he should do fine. Play on SAN FRANCISCO
