Padres vs Rockies Prediction 

Colorado comes into this matchup trying to snap their losing streak, but their pitching staff has been awful and they have allowed 10+ runs in three straight games. The Rockies are 4-15 at home this year, while the Padres are 10-9 on the road. San Diego is the much better team in this matchup, but they are starting Kolek, who may struggle in his first outing at Coors Field. I know Colorado has been low scoring, but I think we will see plenty of runs. Take the over here.
