The Colorado Rockies (15-26) and San Diego Padres (24-17) kick off a three-game set Monday 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.
RHP Jon Gray is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 4-3 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 over 46 IP through 8 starts.
Gray allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings in a loss against the Padres at Coors Field last time out Wednesday.
RHP Yu Darvish is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 over 47 2/3 IP across 8 starts.
Darvish opposed Gray on Wednesday in Denver, allowing one unearned run, two hits and a walk over four innings in a no-decision. He is winless in two starts in May.

- Money line: Rockies +170 (bet $100 to win $170) | Padres -200 (bet $200 to win $100)

Prediction
Padres 4, Rockies 2
Money line (ML)
The Padres (-200) will cost you a pretty penny if you plan to back the home side. San Diego, which is coming off a sweep of the Cardinals, is a better play on the run line.
AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PADRES -1.5 (+110) are worth playing lightly on the run line, as this should be a well-pitched game. Darvish was hard on the Rockies last time out in Denver, and he should be even more effective at sea level.
Over/Under (O/U)
The lean is the UNDER 6.5 (-110), as we have two starting pitchers capable of racking up plenty of donuts.
Gray and Darvish matched up Wednesday in Denver, and the Padres came away with a 5-3 win as the Over barely cashed. At sea level, look for less offense.
