San Francisco at Colorado 8:40 p.m. ET

The Giants (79-61) won 4-0 Sunday as Barry Zito pitched into the seventh and Hunter Pence hit a two-run double in the first. Buster Posey homered in the sixth. 

San Francisco has only one series remaining against a team with a winning record, visiting the Dodgers to close the season. The Giants have seven games left against last-place Colorado (56-83). 

San Francisco is 8-3 against the Rockies while averaging 7.2 runs and hitting .307. Posey, who is hitting .361 with seven RBIs over the last nine games, has homered three times in 10 games against the Rockies while batting .412 (14 of 34) with 11 RBIs. 

The Giants may need to continue their hot hitting against Colorado with the way Ryan Vogelsong (12-7, 3.29 ERA) has pitched recently. 

Vogelsong is 2-2 with a 10.13 ERA over his last five starts. He gave up six runs and nine hits in 3 1-3 innings Tuesday in an 8-6, 11-inning loss to Arizona. 

While the right-hander wasn't at his best in Colorado last month, he won his fifth straight decision against the Rockies, giving up four runs in 6 1-3 innings of a 16-4 victory Aug. 3. 

Vogelsong has a 1.80 ERA in six career starts versus Colorado. 

He'll try to get back on track against a Rockies club that has dropped five straight after being swept in a three-game series at Philadelphia over the weekend. Colorado lost both ends of Sunday's doubleheader. 

The Rockies couldn't protect a 4-1 lead in the nightcap, committing a season-high five errors in a 7-4 loss. Catcher Wilin Rosario had four passed balls in the opener. 

Tracy will hand the ball to Alex White (2-8, 5.31), who is winless in 12 starts since June 3. White allowed one unearned run and two hits while issuing four walks over four innings of a 1-0 loss at Atlanta on Wednesday. 

The right-hander is 0-2 with a 7.90 ERA in three starts against the Giants. He surrendered three runs and seven hits in four innings Aug. 12 at AT&T Park, his lone outing in this season's series.

We get a great line here because Vogelsong has struggled his last couple times out. What i don't think is factored in here is the Rockies pitcher. He's 2-8, 5.31 ERA...nothing to write home about. His most recent win was against the Cubs, i mean really. The ace pitcher here is Vogelsong by a long-shot. The only thing is, can he deliver. At this price i'm willing to give it a shot. This game has value written all over it. Take the Giants. Good Luck
