Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Padres continue to look like a contender and should be favored over a Rockies team that looks the same as last year, which isn’t a good thing. The line is accurate, given the form of both teams. However, Marquez has had success against the Padres in his career, despite current San Diego batters hitting .351 in 111 at-bats. Pivetta wasn’t good in his last outing against the Cubs, and he’s 0-5 with an ERA over 15 in five career games against the Rockies. Current Colorado hitters are batting .370 with two homers in 27 at-bats against Pivetta. I was high on the Padres entering the season, and I’m thrilled with this start. I’ll still take a shot with the Rockies and plus money on Friday night.
