Run line/Against the spread
Darvish has been sharp of late and his length (99 pitches per game) gives the Friars an important advantage in a save-the-bullpen contest.
TAKE SAN DIEGO -1.5 (-107).
Over/Under
Both bullpens figure as having skills being underplayed in surface numbers.
The Padres’ offense has been lackluster at home; Colorado’s offense has been likewise on the road. Both offenses are swung around to their worst platoon side against right-handers.
On a breeze-in afternoon at pitcher-friendly Petco, BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-122).
