Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants 3/3/2023 Picks Predictions Previews
The Colorado Rockies will go against the San Francisco Giants in MLB action in Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, AZ, on Friday, March 3, 2023, at 4:05 PM ET.
There might not be 3 organizations in worse shape than the Colorado Rockies right now, taking ownership, front-office leadership, and on-field performance into account.
The Rockies had two successful seasons in 2017 and 2018 under the leadership of Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story, and Charlie Blackmon, but last season they sank to a pitiful 68-94 record, finishing last in the NL West.
2023 looks to be another challenging year at Coors Field due to a few complicated contracts, a lack of young talent, and a competitive division led by Los Angeles and San Diego.
This is not a team that is serious about competing next summer if the offseason movements (or lack thereof) are any clue.
The Rockies are now predicted to have the fewest wins in the majors next season by Fangraphs (65); the ZiPS-alone was just somewhat more kind with a 66-win prediction.
Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers are reliable young athletes, while Kris Bryant, if he can stay healthy, has a clear skill, and can make a big difference.
Despite lacking the strikeout potential necessary to pitch in a venue like Coors Field, Kyle Freeland, and German Marquez are acceptable at the top of the rotation.
Daniel Bard, who finished 34 games last season, was signed to an extension rather than being traded at the trade deadline, where he would have been one of the top relievers swapped.
- The Colorado Rockies are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
- The Colorado Rockies are 37-43 in their road matches against the spread.
- The totals went OVER in 1 of the Rockies’ last 5 matches.

Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants Predictions 3/3/2023
The San Francisco Giants were a hectic team throughout the summer because they were one of the organizations that were seriously considering signing Aaron Judge.
Reporter Jon Heyman even said that Judge was going to the Bay Area before he jumped the gun and decided to go back to the Bronx.
A 13-year deal with San Francisco was also reached by Carlos Correa, but it was never formalized since Correa failed his Giants’ medical. There was more to the tale.
Due to speculation that Correa would develop arthritis in his later years, the Giants and New York Mets reportedly decided against signing him.
The Giants passed on the chance to add Judge and Correa and instead focused on signing supplementary players like Michael Conforto, Mitch Haniger, and Taylor Rodgers.
Although all of the NL West teams improved their rosters, San Francisco will face another difficult season.
- The San Francisco Giants are 2-3 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
- The San Francisco Giants are 40-40 in their road matches against the spread.
- The totals went OVER in 4 of the Giants’ last 5 matches.
Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants. The MLB pick for this game is the Colorado Rockies. But, it’s difficult to pinpoint any particular aspect of this roster’s strength.
It is so terrible that the greatest positional ranking these Rockies have attained is left field, where Kris Bryant and Sean Bouchard combine to rank 15th overall in Fangraphs’ Depth Charts forecasts.
Ryan McMahon is one of only a handful of players on this squad that is likely to contribute at an average pace, despite having the best overall prediction that is still below 3 WAR.
The Colorado Rockies will win to a predicted score of 4-2.
