The Colorado Rockies (15-27) and San Diego Padres (25-17) play the second game of a three-game set Tuesday at Petco Park with a 10:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 2-4 with a 5.49 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9 over 39 1/3 IP through 8 starts.
Gomber rebounded from a beating at the St. Louis Cardinals May 7, allowing one unearned run, four hits and a walk with six strikeouts across 5 1/3 innings at Coors Field against the Padres Wednesday in a no-decision.
LHP Blake Snell is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 1-0 with a 4.19 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 12.8 K/9 and 6.3 BB/9 over 34 1/3 IP across 8 starts.
Snell was on the bump opposite Gomber in Denver Wednesday, and he lasted just four innings with two earned runs, five hits and three walks allowed in a no-decision. He hasn’t had a quality start in his eight appearances this season.

Money line (ML)
The Padres (-200) will force you to risk two times your potential return, and that’s a little on the expensive side, especially since Snell has really struggled so far.
AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PADRES -1.5 (+105) is worth a roll of the dice, and they’re much less risky at this price point. Snell hasn’t lasted longer than 5 2/3 innings in any of his eight starts to date. But Gomber has struggled at times, too, and San Diego’s offense should be just fine against the left-hander in this one. Plus, the Padres are 4-1 across their past five at home vs. lefties.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 7 (-105) is my favorite play on the board, and you should hammer it hard. The Over is 12-3 in Colorado’s past 15 within the division, and its staff was blasted for seven runs in Monday’s opener. The Over is also 6-1 in Colorado’s past seven vs. left-handers.
The Padres took care of the Over (6.5) all on their own Monday, though barely, and the Over is now 4-for-4 across their past four outings. The Over is also 4-0 in their previous four as home favorites.
