UNDER 9.5 San Francisco Giants/Colorado Rockies:
Crucial game tonight in the National League wild card race as the Rockies host the Giants in the finale of a 4 game set. Colorado leads San Fran by 3 games in the Wild Card chase.

Barry Zito (8-11, 4.26) is finally pitching like the former Cy Young winner he is. He’s been a brutal disappointment in his Giants career so far, but has really turned it around of late. He’s 2-1 with a 2.51 ERA in his last 5 starts and is beginning to compliment Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain well in that rotation.

Jason Marquis (14-8, 3.58) has been great as a free agent pickup this season for the Rockies. Colorado could not have expected him to be an All Star and win 14 games. He’s 2-2 with a 3.94 ERA in his last 5 starts.

Expect a low scoring game tonight in what is somewhat a must win for the Giants.
