Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants Preview: Lineup Predictions (09/08)

For the second time this season, the Colorado Rockies are set to begin a three game road series against the San Francisco Giants.

Colorado is losers of seven out of their last 10 games and recently lost a three game series to the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this week 1-2. The Giants, are currently on a six game losing streak and are quickly finding themselves falling out of contention from a playoff birth as they have a record of 70-70 and are 2.5 games out of first place.

The mindset in the Colorado clubhouse this week should be simple and that is "Play to ruin someone else's season".
