The Giants have lost 4 straight to the Rockies which is weird since they are 20-6 in their last 26 home games against them. The Rockies will have their hands full Saturday afternoon with Barry Zito as they are 16-35 in their last 51 games vs. LH starters and on the road they are scoring just 2.80 runs per 9 vs. LHP. Zito meanwhile has dominated the Rockies for many years at home going 5-1 with a 1.95 ERA in 12 career home starts against. This year has been no different as he pitched a 7 inning shutout and in 5 home games this year he has a 0.55 ERA and a 1.60 ERA during day games this year.. Zito has dominated both Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki.
Giants offense will look to rebound after being shut out at home for the first time all year at home last night. Juan Nicasio was just getting ready to be heading to the minors when he had a decent start against the Dodgers at home, but Nicasio has a career ERA over 5 during day starts and road starts. The Giants are scoring 4.58 runs per 9 vs. RHP and they are backed by the better bullpen as well. Nicasio is 0-2 in two career starts in San Francisco with a WHIP nearly at 2 and a 5.73 ERA. Look for the Giants to rebound here today from last night's loss and get a big win.
