Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Prediction

Give me the Padres in this one. The Rockies got back to the Rockies we’ve come to expect to see this season, struggling to produce on the road. Quantrill has been one of Colorado’s better starters this season, but I just think he’s up against it here as the Padres have been rolling along and have been finding ways to win. I think the Padres keep it going and get the win to take the series. Give me San Diego.
