San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
Sugano has been solid through 20.2 innings, but it’s not enough for me to step in front of the Padres. I keep saying it, but the Padres have some magic to them and they keep winning. Until that stops, I’m going to keep backing the Padres. The sample size is still fairly small, but the Padres are getting it done and oozing with confidence. Give me the Padres to keep things rolling, especially with prices that are more than reasonable.
