Padres at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Padres 7, Rockies 4
Moneyline
PASS.
The Rockies have been awful as of late, but at (-185), there is no good value in backing their opponent here. The moneyline for the home side (+150) looks enticing, but with Lamet on the mound, it is also a pass.
Run line/Against the spread
BET PADRES -1.5 (-125).
The Rockies have lost 9 of the 14 games in which Lamet has appeared by 2 or more runs. The Padres are 8-7 on the run line as a road favorite as well, so this is a position they have performed well in.
The Rockies are just 16-23 on the run line following a loss as well. Considering the trends, take PADRES -1.5 (-125).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 12 (-110).
The Padres have gone Under in 6 of their last 8 games. They are also 21-42-1 O/U on the season. The Rockies are 28-37-1 O/U this season and have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games.
Despite Lamet’s struggles, this total is too high, and with how these teams have trended, take the UNDER 12 (-110).
