Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Pick
Spread Pick for Rockies vs Padres
- San Diego Padres -1.5 (5 units)
The Padres are pushing to clinch a wild-card spot and potentially a divisional lead. San Diego hasn’t played all that well in the past few weeks, but a game against the Rockies is a great chance to get back on track. Colorado continues to be the worst team in the sport and San Diego can use that to their benefit. Yu Darvish starts and he has a 3.77 ERA at home as the team has an 8-3 record against the Rockies leading into Sunday. It’s just hard to trust a Rockies team to produce on the road with an offense hitting .204 away from home. They’re also starting German Marquez, who has a 6.20 ERA on the road.
Take the Padres to cover.
Over/Under Pick for Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres
- Under 8.5 runs (5 units)
The offense for both teams has struggled in the past few weeks. The Rockies have been poor on offense all season long, which has allowed them to be the worst team in the sport. The Padres,though, are hitting just .226 this month and they have scored the sixth fewest runs. Despite two starting pitchers that leak runs, one of these offenses is not going to shine and it will produce a low-scoring game.
Take the under on Sunday.
