MLB Odds: Giants vs Rockies MLB Picks – August 3rd, 2010: The Giants and Rockies begin a two game set in Colorado tonight as each team looks to get a little closer to San Diego in the National League West. First pitch in this evening's game is scheduled for 8:40pm ET at Coors Field. MLB Picks at online bookmaker SBGglobal.com have the Rockies listed as a -130 home favorite; the game total is set at nine with the Over drawing -125 odds.
The Rockies stumbled out of the All-Star break, losing 11 of their first 13 games following the annual respite; however, 
Colorado appears to have regained its footing as it heads into tonight's meeting with the Giants. The team extended its current win streak to four games over the weekend with a sweep of the Cubs at Coors Field. The rebound has the Rockies sitting third in the NL West standings and 7.5 games back of the Padres with a 55-50 record.
San Francisco has surged since the break, winning 15 of its 19 post All-Star contests. The Giants, like the Rockies, are fresh off a home sweep after stealing three straight from the Dodgers this past weekend. San Francisco can improve to 62-45 with a win tonight, a tally that would put them within a game of first place should the Padres fall at Los Angeles.
The starting pitchers in this evening's divisional battle are Aaron Cook and Jonathan Sanchez. Cook is 4-7 with a 5.08 ERA for the Rockies this season (20 starts) while Sanchez is 7-6 with a 3.54 ERA in 21 starts for the Giants. Cook has been horrible of late, giving up 15 earned runs and 31 hits in his last 18.2 innings pitched. Sanchez pitched a third of an inning in relief last Friday, helping San Francisco to a 6-5 win against L.A. Prior to that brief appearance he yielded seven hits and five earned runs (six innings) in a 10-9 Giants victory over the Marlins.
MLB Picks Betting Trend: Colorado is 8-2 straight up in its last 10 games as a home favorite with a total between 8.5 and 9 (Over 9-1).
