SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Colorado Rockies, May 7

SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Colorado Rockies, May 7
The Giants offense just is not hitting. There is no other way around it. Going to the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field might help, but it could also pose a tough challenge for a young pitcher like Harrison.
The 22-year-old pitcher has looked a lot more like himself in recent starts, mixing in his slurvy slider and changeup more to go along with his four-seam fastball. His four-seam fastball is one of the better pitches in baseball, so the offspeed offerings play off of that pitch.
On the year, Harrison has a 3.79 ERA, 3.89 FIP, 1.28 WHIP, 9/0 K/9, and a 3.80 SO/R ratio in seven starts. It feels like a jinx to mention this given where he is pitching today, but he has not allowed a home run in his last three starts.
Who it hot?
LaMonte Wade Jr. has been the Giants' most consistent hitter in 2024. He tallied two more hits in Monday's 6-1 loss against the Phillies. This gives him a hit in three of his last four games, including two multi-hit games during that time.
Who are the SF Giants facing?
The Giants face off against Dakota Hudson. He is winless in six starts with a 5.93 ERA, 5.04 FIP, 1.68 WHIP, 5.3 K/9, and a 1.06 SO/W ratio. He does not strike out a lot of hitters and pitches with a lot of traffic on the bases.
