three of its last four games, including a 5-4 setback to Colorado as a -113 road favorite Tuesday, while going UNDER the betting total for a third consecutive affair.\u00a0 Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval has been leading the offense recently, but he went 0-for-4 last night after hitting .389 during his previous nine-game hit streak.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to mention that catcher Buster Posey may be out of the lineup due to nerve irritation in his lower back.\u00a0 San Francisco is 25-8 in its last 33 games following a loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain (1-3, 3.92 ERA) has watched the club alternate wins and losses in his last four trips to the mound, as he comes off a 6-4 home victory over the Miami Marlins last time out.\u00a0 The right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA in five road appearances\u2014serving up five home runs in 29 combined frames.\u00a0 In 33 career starts versus the Rockies, Cain has put together a 17-8 record and 3.35 ERA, including a 6-3 mark and 4.60 ERA in 14 appearances at this ballpark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Colorado has won back-to-back games, while the UNDER is 5-1 in its last six contests.\u00a0 The Rockies have put together a 16-6 home record in the early going this season, while they\u2019ve also captured 10 of their last 13 games against the Giants at this ballpark.\u00a0 Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez may receive a day off, considering he\u2019s gone 4 for 44 with 17 strikeouts versus Cain in his career.\u00a0 Colorado is 6-2 in its last eight games versus division rivals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Rockies starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (0-2, 4.76 ERA) is still searching for his first win of the year, as he comes off a 3-2 loss on the road to the Kansas City Royals\u2014allowing three runs and seven hits over six innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander has put together a 22-21 record and 4.22 ERA in 64 career appearances at this venue, including a 3-3 mark and 4.38 ERA in his last six trips to the mound in that situation.\u00a0 Chacin is 5-5 with a 3.38 ERA in 15 outings against the Giants in his career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Sports bettors will likely back the Rockies due to their 10-4 mark in Chacin\u2019s last 14 efforts as a home favorite of -110 to -150.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #232323\">Make sure to check out our <a
