Rockies vs Padres Spread Pick
- Take the Padres to cover (5 units)
It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for the Padres. San Diego has struggled to find wins at home this year, with them playing much better on the road. The Padres are starting German Marquez, who is playing his former team in this game. Marquez struggled in his opening game against San Francisco. The Rockies offense has played solid through the first weeks, as they hold the second-best batting average. Colorado is starting Ryan Feltner, who has a career 3.80 ERA against the Padres. Behind Feltner, the Rockies will have a chance and I’ll side with them due to San Diego’s home woes.
Take the Rockies to cover.
