The San Diego Padres are 0-2 this season after losing on Thursday and Friday night. The Padres have really struggled to get the offense going against a Colorado pitching staff that was not supposed to be very good this year.

The Padres offense has scored three runs with a .197 batting average and a .227 on base percentage this year.

Trends
Colorado is 5-1 in their last 6 games against the NL West and 7-19 in their last 26 game three’s of a series. The under is 7-2 in Colorado’s last 9 Saturday games. San Diego is 5-3 in their last 8 games against the NL West and 0-5 in their last 5 games. The over is 4-0-1 in San Diego’s last 5 Saturday games. Colorado is 9-17 in these two teams last 26 head to head meetings in San Diego.
Pick
Colorado has stunned San Diego in the first two games of this series and they will be looking to make it three in a row here. San Diego has not hit the ball very well at all to start the year, but will have a chance to bounce back against Urena, who has not been very good in recent years. On the flip side, the Rockies are batting over .300 in the first two games of the season and have to be feeling confident. I think we are going to see some runs in this game and I like the over.
