Run line/Against the spread
In the Padres’ 10 wins in their last 14 games, 9 have been by 2 or more runs.
Five of the Rockies’ 7 straight losses at Coors Field have been by more than 1 run. Of the 6 losses they have with Freeland on the mound, 5 have been by multiple runs.
It is a good bet that if the Padres win, they will cover, which is a better value than the money line. Take the PADRES -1.5 (-103).
Over/Under
None of the 4 games between the 2 teams last week had more than 10 runs.
In 22 of the Padres’ last 26 games, the total has been 12 or fewer runs and they had a 15-game streak in which they had no game hit 13 runs.
The Rockies’ last 10 games and 12 of their last 14 have had totals of 12 or fewer runs.
Take UNDER 12.5 (-107).
