While Giants lefthander Jonathan Sanchez (7-6, 3.54 ERA) is having a better season overall than Colorado starter Aaron Cook (4-7, 5.08 ERA), Sanchez only has four quality starts in 10 road games while Cook has seven quality starts in nine home games. Sanchez has also struggled against Colorado, with an ERA of 6.36 and WHIP of 1.67 against the Rockies. There’s no reason to think these trends won’t continue.
