The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres face off on Thursday in the first MLB game of the season at Petco Park. The Padres have won six of the last eight games against the Rockies. 

Rockies Betting Preview

The Rockies are trying to rebuild their team, but they seem to suffer setback after setback, and there aren’t a whole lot of expectations surrounding this season. Brendan Rodgers is the most talented player in the roster, but he suffered a shoulder injury in February and now he’s out for the season. Ezequiel Tovar is a very talented shortstop and many believe he could win rookie of the year. On the mound for the Rockies is German Marquez who finished last season with a 9-13 record and an ERA of 4.95. 

Padres Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is the Padres who had a strong season last year, and they only got better this offseason. The Padres were busy this offseason bringing in Xander Bogaerts and Juan Soto to join an already loaded lineup. Fernando Tatis Jr is expected to be back soon, but he isn’t healthy yet. Bogaerts is dealing with a wrist injury but he is probable for this game. O the mound for the Padres will be Blake Snell who finished last season with an 8-10 record and an ERA of 3.38. 

Rockies vs Padres Trends

The Rockies are 0-5 in their last five games on Thursday. The under is 4-0 in the Rockies last four road games. The Rockies are 1-5 in their last six games during game 1 of a series. The under is 4-0 in the Rockies last four games as a road underdog. 

Shane’s Free Pick

It’s going to be another long season for the fans of the Rockies and it’s going to start off in this game. Marquez’s numbers are a bit inflated being he pitched at Coors Field, but he’s going to struggle against the Padres lineup. The Padres bats are going to get out to a flying start here, and Snell is going to slow down the Rockies bats. Back the Padres to get the job done on the run line. 

Shane’s Pick Padres -1.5
