Money line (ML)
The Rockies took Monday’s series opener, 3-2, and have won 8 of their last 10 games at Coors Field.
The Padres have struggled with the bats, posting a mere .611 OPS since May 24.
While the Padres may be likely to get this one, on what is forecasted as a 100-degree night in Denver you can BACK THE ROCKIES (+200) for a small bet based on value against a punchless and perhaps travel-weary Friars group.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
A 2.5 run line is in play as a leveler of prices. A pass is suggested, but consider COLORADO +2.5 (-120) as an undercard to the ML play.

PASS on a solid total.
