Something's gotta give when two teams playing awful baseball match up, and that's exactly what we have in store tonight as the San Francisco Giants begin a three-game series in Denver against the Colorado Rockies. The Giants are 1-6 on their current 10-game road trip, so this has a chance to be a complete disaster if they don't turn things around against Colorado and win at least two out of three. A sweep would be great, but that is far from a guarantee given how poorly the SF Giants have played as of late.

On paper, the San Francisco Giants are much better than the Rockies. They have better pitching and a better lineup. The Giants just haven't played up to their capabilities, whereas the Rockies are a team that, on paper, projected to be one of the worst in the NL—and that's exactly what they have been. Kyle Harrison gets the start tonight, to be followed by Jordan Hicks and Keaton Winn. The Giants should have the advantage in every game given their superior roster, but baseball is a crazy game and Coors Field makes it even crazier.

Predictions for the series are made, and discussion is had about how something has to give. Will the Giants turn things around and break out offensively in the most lively offensive park in the sport? Or will the SF Giants' struggles continue and will they be the first team to lose a series to the Rockies in 2024? For the Giants' sake, things have gotten so ugly recently that they need to play better with a sense of real urgency and timeliness.
