Padres vs Rockies Prediction

The Padres are 5-2 in their last 7 head-to-head meetings against the Rockies, but the Rockies are 4-3 in their last 7 meetings in Colorado. Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this Padres vs Rockies Prediction, the Padres are coming as -190 road favorites. The Padres are on a free fall lately, and I cannot back them up as big road favorites with Vasquez on the mound, who has been weaker on the road, with a 4.17 road ERA. On the flip side, McCade Brown looked terrible in his two starts for the Rockies, who also have one of the league’s weakest bullpens. Both teams are hitting better against righties, and I like both offenses to bounce back today. Take the over 12 runs.
