Run line/Against the spread
A bullpen game helps the home team in this one. The Padres pen had a shaky July but alongside some bad-luck numbers along the margins.
The Rockies struggle mightily on the road, and Urena has looked lost of late.
TAKE THE PADRES -1.5 (+105).
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 a bottom-5 outfit on the road. Both offenses are swung around to their worst platoon side against right-handers.
On a breeze-in evening at pitcher-friendly Petco, BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-108).
