The San Francisco Giants (66-68) travel to the thin air of Coors Field on Monday to face the struggling Colorado Rockies (38-96) in what looks like a mismatch on paper but carries playoff implications for the visiting club.
San Francisco enters as -132 favorites despite their inconsistent season, banking on their solid 3.70 team ERA to contain a Rockies offense that strikes out more than any team in baseball except one.
With rookie Chase Dollander (2-11, 6.55 ERA) taking the mound for Colorado against Carson Whisenhunt, the Giants have a clear edge in what could be a high-scoring affair at altitude.

Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants preview
The Giants head to Denver with their playoff hopes fading fast, sitting just two games over .500 in what's been a disappointing season for a club that expected much more.
Colorado enters this Labor Day matchup as one of baseball's worst teams at 38-96, but Coors Field remains a dangerous place for any visiting pitcher despite the Rockies' struggles.
Carson Whisenhunt takes the ball for San Francisco with limited big league experience and a concerning 5.06 ERA through 23 innings pitched.
The Giants' offense has been underwhelming all season, ranking 25th in runs per game at just 4.1, while their pitching staff has been one of the few bright spots with a solid 3.70 ERA.
Chase Dollander gets the start for Colorado despite his brutal 2-11 record and 6.55 ERA that reflects the Rockies' pitching woes this season.
With both teams essentially playing out the string, this becomes more about individual performances and development as the season winds toward its conclusion.
