The bottom of the NL West right now is cluttered with a pair of 38-loss ballclubs, the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies. Right now, the Rockies hold the dishonor of the No.5 spot, only because they have lost a pair more games.Now, the two are geared to face off in the last series before the All-Star Break officially kicks off. So, things could even out more when the weekend comes around if the Rockies take this one, or the Giants can play with some fire and take down this young squad. Colorado has never been known for their pitching, but Ryan Feltner is one of the better arms that their rotation has to offer, with a 3.23 ERA in his last seven starts to complement a 1.08 WHIP.

Thursday evening against the Rockies will be lefty Carson Whisenhunt, who is making his second start of the season. Wisehunt allowed a lot of contact, but the damage was limited to two earned runs in five innings.

So, their lineup can stay the same. After falling victim to a near no-hitter on Wednesday, they did swap it up a little bit.

Sometimes when a player is struggling so much, they will sit until the break, and it wouldn't be too far-fetched to see that here. When this is all said and done, San Francisco could either be in the sole position of last place or finally crack the 40-win threshold, as they are still one of four teams yet to do so. But they could be next. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
