Robbie Ray starts for the Giants at Coors Field against Germán Márquez in a high-leverage fantasy showdown. Ray carries a 3.18 ERA with 163 strikeouts in 164 innings, after a rough four-inning outing vs Baltimore. Márquez owns a 6.14 ERA with a 4.87 FIP over 102.2 innings, fresh off an eight-run, four-and-a-third frame vs Chicago.

The Giants aim to snag a road win (Giants 70-69, Rockies 39-100) and lean on Ray’s swing-and-miss upside in Denver’s hitter-friendly environment, while Márquez must limit walks and locate better to give Colorado a chance. In DFS terms, Ray’s K potential at altitude edges this one, while Márquez is a risk-reward pivot if he can snap out of the command issues.

Expect bullpen usage to be a factor, with Coors Field amplifying scoring opportunities for both sides. Fantasy managers should weigh Ray’s strikeouts against Márquez’s volatility and the ballpark’s innate power aesthetic when setting lineups for this game.
