The Giants have only five games left and with the Cardinals trailing close behind in the wild-card race, all five might as well be playoff games. San Fran will send Jeff Samardzija (12-10, 3.83 ERA) to the mound to face Tyler Chatwood (11-9, 4.08 ERA) and the Rockies in the Bay Area.
- The Rockies are 2-5 on both the ML and RL in their last 7 games as underdogs against the Giants.
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Rockies' last 5 games against the Giants.
- The Rockies are 10-3 in their last 13 games on the road with Tyler Chatwood as the starting pitcher.
Jeff “the Shark” Samardzija’s pitching has gone in real peaks and valleys this season and right now he’s peaking. He has a 2.93 ERA through five starts in September and he’s given up just two home runs in the month. In his last five starts against the Rockies, the Shark has not allowed more than two runs and hurled at least seven innings in all five of those outings.
Tyler Chatwood continues to impress on the road as he’s posted a 1.88 ERA and 7-1 record in games pitched away from Coors Field. In his last seven road starts, Chatwood has allowed more than two runs just twice and has allowed exactly one run four times.
