5* MLB *Afternoon Delight* on San Francisco Giants -152
The Rockies are 0-5 in their last 5 games. They have lost the first 3 games of this series but don't expect a bounce-back performance. They are 0-4 in their last 4 games following losses in the first 3 games of a series. The Rockies are also 0-5 in their last 5 road games versus a southpaw starter, and they figure to have their work cut out for themselves against Zito.

The Giants are 8-0 in Zito's last 8 starts and 4-0 in his last 4 home starts. The veteran has looked more and more confident each time he has taken the mound during this stretch. I like his chances of outdueling Colorado's De La Rose, who hasn't pitched in the bigs since May 24, 2011.

The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 6-0 in their last 6 games as a favorite. They are also 5-0 in their last 5 against the Rockies. Take San Francisco.
